THURSDAYS: In this four-part workshop series, we will cover a wide range of skills to help you engage in more meaningful conversations, enhance your social network, use electronic communication methods effectively, and handle conflict successfully.
It's not easy to find people who can support us emotionally, nor do we always know how to support others effectively when they are in emotional distress and feeling lonely. When our emotions go unprocessed, they are not gone, but are temporarily buried, with time, they manifest themselves in much stronger ways, such as anxiety, physical sickness, addictions, impulsive behaviours etc. Our bodies say no for us.<br><br><br>To encounter our inner worlds, we will borrow some philosophical, psychological, and neuroscience knowledge as guides, use case studies and personal stories to relate to, and discuss topics like:<br><br>-What am I feeling?<br>-How do I get in touch with my own emotions and befriend them?<br>-Where do these feelings come from?<br>-How do they develop?<br>-How can I feel connected with others?<br>-How can I improve social skills to better operate in the workplace, school, and at home?<br>-How to not take things personally?<br><br>Objectives:<br>To enhance our social wellbeing, and build a harmonious relationship with ourselves and others. Together, we share and improve techniques that are Simple, Relatable, and Immediate Applicable to help each other channel negative emotions, in order to feel safer, and improve the quality of life.<br><br><br>How?<br>1.We understand the context: By examining present state of mind, societal pressure and living conditions;<br>2.We navigate through peer stories, in order to relate, co-regulate, witness, feedback, reference;<br>3.We identify uncommon senses, human bias, misjudgments, misunderstandings;<br>4.We explore multidisciplined theories:<br>-Philosophy(Western: Existentialism; Eastern: Confucius, Taoism)<br>-Psychology(Emotion via RULER; Defence mechanisms, Trauma)<br>-Neuroscience(Prefrontal cortex; Limbic system: Amygdala, Hippocampus)<br>-Others: History, Religion, Business, Politics<br><br><br>When? Every Friday 3:30-5pm in Feb 2025;<br><br><br>Who we are? We are psychology, social science and computer science graduates from McGill and Concordia University. We are interested in building solutions that support public social health. Visit our work at https://th3rdplace.com/<br><br><br>Our space is limited to ensure quality, and registration is strictly required. See you there!

Hi everyone! My name is Belen Blizzard and I am Concordia's 2SLGBTQ+ Student Support Coordinator. My office will now be open for peer-support every Wednesday from 12 to 4pm. You're welcome to drop in at any time or email me to schedule an appointment at: 2SLGBTQIcoord@concordia.ca. <br><br>What you can expect: a space of non-judgment and active listening where your feelings and experiences will be honoured. I am here to support 2SLGBTQ+ students and hold space for topics ranging from identity, coming out, sexuality, experiences of homophobia and transphobia (and how they interest with race, disability, and more), and how they transpire in and out of the academic space. I am also equipped to redirect you to resources surrounding name and gender marker change, access to hormone and trans affirmative healthcare, and more. Over all, I aim to provide a space in which 2SLGBTQ+ students feel comfortable and safer in sharing their experiences and seeking support.
