Interpersonal Effectiveness: Knowing Your Rights in Relationships

Does it feel like everyone gets what they want from you but your needs are neglected in relationships? Does it feel like you have to tiptoe in some relationships? Do you live with distress, anxiety, sadness and anger due to not getting your needs met in relationships? If you answered yes to any of these questions then this workshop is for you. This workshop will teach you effective ways to engage in interpersonal interactions/communication with friends, family, and co-worker/colleagues to get your needs met. Relationships should not be one sided! You also have rights!

Got Likes? Impacts of Social Media on Mental Health

The purpose of this group is to help adolescents overcome the challenges of self esteem from the usage of Social media. Social media is a great way to virtually interact and connect with others. However, social media can often negatively impact individuals especially adolescents during their transitional period of discovering themselves as they grow. Individuals may also endure self-esteem challenges due to living up to unrealistic expectations seen on social media. From frequently comparing oneself to others, to feeling “not good enough”, social media can potentially harm adolescents as they search for self identity and self-confidence. Low self-esteem is a major impact for black adolescents who encounter life challenges and strive for society’s definition of perfection on social media. Adolescents involved in these group sessions will be able to fully be aware of themselves as black individuals and utilize their identity as a strength.

Intersectionality: Unpacking & Unifying Identity

Do you suppress your authentic self at work or around family? This Intersectionality workshop is a supportive space for everyone to explore their identity. With facilitation led by our lead DEIB Trainer Nicole Blackson, attendees will actively engage by reflecting on who they are, the challenges they face, and the ways that they cope.

This workshop is also for anyone struggling to express empathy for people in their professional and personal lives. By sharpening their emotional intelligence skills, attendees will walk away with meaningful group interactions and coping tools to unpack and unify their intersecting identities.
