• Recognition, Insight & Openness (RIO) Workshop Online: Times are not easy. Classes have switched online, we’ve been told to maintain social distance, and life is very different than it was even a few weeks ago. It’s normal to have strong reactions to these changes. RIO, which is led by Counseling Center clinicians, provides an interactive experience that helps you: • Learn mindfulness skills that can help you identify why you’re feeling the emotions you are and accept them. • Manage stress, anxiety, and other emotions productively. • Identify what’s most important to you and prioritize accordingly.More information and to register
