Journaling Workshop
Come join the Journaling Workshop as part of the CreateConnectCare initiative – a student-led mental health and wellness project
Join us in the Staff Development Room (located in the front office) on March 18th and 20th during Advisement for a self-guided decorating station where you can personalize your own journal, explore thoughtful writing prompts, and take a moment to reflect and express yourself.
If you can't make it to the workshop - stop by the media center during the month of March to create your own journal on your own time. While there be sure to check out the Wellness Book Collection – a curated selection of books focused on mental health, self-care, and emotional well-being.
