Past Groups and Workshops
Sleeping Soundly: Sleep is essential to maintaining health and a strong ability to concentrate, memorize and learn. We know that sleep disruption not only results from depression, it also causes depression. In this one-hour workshop, basic concepts about sleep will be discussed and you will be taught a number of specific strategies for getting to sleep and improving the quality of sleep.
Introduction to Mind-Body Technologies: Take the guesswork out of relaxation and stress management training. In this repeating workshop, students will be given a tour of the Counseling Center’s resources for self training in Mind-body strategies. You will be taught how to use a number of different tools for monitoring and controlling your own body’s stress and relaxation response. Once the basics are understood, you can come in any time and tune up your specific body-mind skills for relaxation and stress control.

Coping in the Aftermath of a Loss
The death of someone important to you can feel like an earthquake has shaken your world and you are now left to put the pieces back together by yourself. It is easy to feel isolated in grief and afraid to burden friends who may not understand your feelings or believe you should be over it by now. You have become different. Sometimes, because grief can be so hard to experience, you may do things that get in the way of healing. The Counseling Center is offering a psycho-educational group that can help make sense of loss and provide practical tools for coping. Whether your loss happened recently or years ago, please join us.
Leaders: Maria Bakht, Psy.D. & Toi Giel, Ph.D.
Type: Call the Counseling Center at (360) 650-3164 to register.
