Graduate Student Climate Café
Grief. Fatigue. Anxiety. Outrage. Apathy. Despair.
These are just a few of the complex emotions people experience in response to climate change. Strong feelings are normal reactions to existential threat. Action is essential, but it is not the only cure for prolonged stress that can lead to burnout. Coping, caring, and community are essential parts of climate work too. The Climate Café is an informal, open, respectful and confidential space to explore your varied responses to the climate crisis with other graduate students. The intention within this reflective space is to explore thoughts and feelings about climate change while building meaningful bonds and sustainable hope. You are welcome to join this collective endeavor and nourish yourself while facing our changing climate.

Feel Better Fast
This three-part series is designed to help you make positive changes in your life and manage distressing thoughts and emotions. You will learn how to make balanced decisions, self-soothe, take a step back from racing thoughts and live by your true values.
Feel Good Fridays

This workshop meditation can help you undo stress, soothe your nervous system and help you feel relaxed and revitalized. Participants are encouraged to bring materials for personal comfort that will aid meditation (e.g., yoga mat, a small pillow or cushion, etc.).
