Workshops

Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) is available to assist you in designing and presenting a variety of workshops to meet your programming needs. We practice from a wellness perspective and support the university's mission to develop the whole person. We are also aware of the model for wellness used by the Office of Housing and Residential Life and can assist residential staff in meeting their goals. We recommend, especially for Fall quarter, programs dealing with adjustment and transitions, relationships (this includes alcohol and sexuality), body image and diversity. These are issues that if addressed early on in the year can prevent more serious problems from developing. Please contactCAPS to discuss any of the following workshop ideas.

The Counseling Option:

What do we do behind those closed doors of the CAPS? What is therapy about?

Musical Chairs:

Regards personal values in relationships, sexual choices and skills of asserting those choices when it counts.

Flying Solo:

Independence. Nice word... But independence, leaving home or leaving a relationship, can also be scary. How do you negotiate this time of having to take care of yourself?

Do You Treat Others Better Than You Treat Yourself?

Assertiveness Training: Understand the differences between assertiveness and aggression, and nonassertiveness and politeness. Identify your own assertive, aggressive, nonassertive behavior.

Procrastination, Stress & Time Managment:

These workshops are designed to help students understand and overcome procrastination and learn how to better manage time and tasks.

Body Positive:

This is an exploration of how media and society affects our views of ourselves and our bodies.

Home For the Holidays:

For many students going home for the holidays presents an unwelcomed challenge. Learn coping skills to survive that time.

Finding Out What I Want: Life, Love & Work Explorations

What do I want to do with my life? Not being sure about what you want and not knowing how to find out can be really frustrating. These workshops are designed to show you some ways to find answers.

"I've Got This Friend..."

We may know, or suspect, that someone near us has a potentially destructive problem. What could we do? What should we say?

Sorrow & Loss

This workshop will address issues surrounding grief and loss.

Shocked!

Coming to a new environment may elicit Culture Shock. Someone from Oregon can experience culture shock as well as someone from Quatar. This workshop can help you give meaning to this new experience, cope and develop new relationships through it.

Men's/Women's Issues:

This series of workshops helps us identify the behaviors, beliefs and values we were taught as children about female and male gender roles and explore new or different ideas about these roles. The role of violence in Men's/Women's relationships will also be explored.

Dealing From A Distance:

So you're the one in the family who has to listen to every problem that's happening at home. Students caught in the middle often have difficulty paying attention to school so this workshop is designed to help those students deal with family crises effectively.
