Better Coping Skills

If you’re having trouble coping with the demands of university life—or even regular everyday situations—this four-workshop series is right for you.

Do you:

Worry constantly about worst-case scenarios?
Blame or criticize yourself, even when things are going well?
Feel like your emotions are overwhelming and difficult to tolerate?
Avoid situations or activities because it makes you nervous or because you think you’ll fail?
Push yourself to do things perfectly, but still feel like a failure?

The workshops can help you develop coping skills to thrive and better meet the demands of university, work and your personal life, such as:

balanced thinking
healthy behaviours
managing emotions
balanced living

You can attend workshops in person or try the online option.

Grad students have the option of attending the Better Coping Skills by SGS workshop series.
