The inner balance workshop helps students live in the moment, develop healthy ways to cope with stress, manage your emotions, and improve your relationships with others. This semi-structured group utilizes Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). In DBT, the core goal is to balance acceptance and change, so the workshop will review sets of acceptance skills as well as change skills. Skills are further divided into four skills modules: mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. Four total sessions, recurring through the semester.

While this is an open workshop, and you may join any of the sessions that fit your schedule, the content does build on skills reviewed in previous weeks, so you will see the most benefit by attending all meetings.
