Please join the events and learn techniques, strategies and resources that help you de-stress! #destressAppState #appstate
DE-STRESS kits available to students while supplies last. The kits contain clam strips, jolly ranchers, dark chocolate, herbal tea, honey sticks, and aromatherapy bookmarks.
Origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, is activity that has been associated with mindfulness. Its simplicity, the humble act of engaging with paper, the feeling of textures and creases and the visual result that emerges, all offer excellent ways to practice mindfulness. Join us from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. This activity is led by Counseling & Psychological Services. To learn about other services from Counseling & Psychological Services click here.
Our quiet room will have a station to make your own tea. Once your tea is made, you can enjoy drinking it while relaxing in a massage chair.
