Self Compassion
 - NEW DATE April 3, 2024             
It is no secret that University can cause a number of different stressors; exams, adjusting to new environments and feeling overwhelmed. It sometimes can be easy to be self-critical with ourselves when we don’t do as well as we had hoped or in times of uncertainty.  One way to increase our well-being and improve our mental health is to be self-compassionate to ourselves. In this webinar, we will spend time exploring this term and learning how we might be more self-compassionate with ourselves!
