Congratulations to TRIO/CSTEP for hosting a collaborative and successful event aimed at enhancing mindfulness in a stress free environment. With finals month in full motion, this activity was the perfect outlet for a mental health break.
Guest facilitators taught students non-cognitive skills of self awareness, empathy, and how to verbalize emotions. Bryan Garcia, Director of Support Programs said "It was a unique workshop that I feel can be included with the promotion of an inclusive learning environment." Students participated with genuine enthusiasm and expressed their excitement from beginning to end.
