Riding the Waves of Mental Health: Learning How to Mentally Surf with
Resilience

Ever feel like the waves of life are beating you down? One minute you are
riding high and the next you are crashing? Another exam, another
complicated relationship, another panic attack—do you ever feel like you
can’t come up for air? We can all feel like we’re drowning sometimes.
Thankfully, Dr. Lauren Cook, @dr.laurencook, teaches you how to pick up
your mental surfboard so we can learn how to emotionally surf through even
the roughest waters. We can’t always control what kind of waters we’re in
but we can learn how to swim so that we don’t feel like we’re crashing and
sinking. Lauren will show how rolling with the tides, rather than resisting
them, allows you to tap into your resilience and come back stronger. Your
life is waiting for you so surf’s up!

As a result of attending this program, students will learn:

   -

   how to incorporate mindful compassion, both for ourselves and others as
   we wade through the ebbs and flows of life
   -

   how to incorporate wellness principles so that you’re building the
   metaphorical best surfboard to ride on,
   -

   how to get back up on the board after a tough, emotional wave has
   knocked us out, and
   -

   how to develop a self-care plan that is easy to implement and is
   sustainable.
