We currently offer a three-week interactive tailored workshop series, which teaches the following and more:

• Positive imagery and visualization
• Practicing gratitude
• Silencing the "Inner Critic"
• Basic deep breathing for coping with stress
• Cultivating empathy for others to improve self-happiness
• Setting goals and overcoming procrastination
• Understanding differences between healthy stress and flourishing versus mental illness and languishing
• Available resources for student mental well-being

Our program was pilot-tested in three graduate departments and a community center at Stanford University and was highly recommended by 89% of surveyed participants with a net 18% increase between pre and post participants in resilience-based outcomes and a 7% increase in self-flourishing outcomes.
