Workshop description - How to quiet your inner critic

In this workshop we will introduce the idea of self-compassion and we will discuss how the ways we think about challenges and stressors can greatly impact both academic success and mental health and well-being. You will also be introduced to the idea of a “growth mindset” as tool to support you on your journey as a post-secondary student.
