Executive
Functioning Workshop Series
Executive
functions are things we do daily that help us get things done, like making
lists, managing a schedule, and setting reminders. Attendees of this 3-workshop
series will work on developing skills to overcome barriers to success,
including time management, task prioritization/implementation, motivation, and
self-accountability.

How to Get a Good
Night's Sleep
Sometimes it feels
like there aren't enough hours in the day, and when we're busy what ends up
falling to the wayside? Probably sleep. But
sleep is actually one of the most important ways to promote healthy brain
function- including concentration and memory- the things you need to succeed in
college! Join Retriever Integrated
Health to talk about some ways to improve sleep and learn how RIH's counseling
and medical services can further support your journey to a better night's
sleep.

the role of culture in communication, different styles of communication, and
strategies for effective communication, and (3) identify common causes of conflict
and effective conflict management techniques.

Student Workbook that we'll use in the workshop.
Mindfulness
Feelings of anxiety
can interrupt daily life and can be difficult to bounce back from. One practice
that can help prevent anxiety and panic from taking over is mindfulness.
Mindfulness is a state of nonjudgmental awareness of what is happening in the
present moment, including the awareness of one's own thoughts, feelings, and
senses. The ability to be mindful can reduce symptoms of depression, improve
memory, enhance relationships, and improve your ability to manage emotions.
During this workshop, you will learn the benefits of mindfulness practices and
be guided through various exercises.
If you need accommodations for a disability, please contact Stephanie Will (swill1@umbc.edu) at least one week prior to the start of the workshop and RIH will arrange for services.
All RIH services are LGBTQIA2S+ friendly and are welcoming to all diverse populations.
