Building healthy relationships is part of a great college experience. Whether they're friendships or romantic relationships, it is important to understand what a healthy relationship looks like and how to recognize an unhealthy relationship. Every relationship will have times that are not so sunny and this can lead to disagreements. Arguments in a relationship are natural, what matters is how we bounce back from it. In this workshop we will identify characteristics of a healthy and unhealthy relationship, ways to better communicate, and how to increase our Emotional Intelligence (EI) skills for improving interactions, relationships, and conversations with others. The workshop will introduce participants to tools that facilitate our interpersonal interactions, improve our ability to empathetically navigate the social environment, and better handle conflicts with the people we love. This workshop is free and open to UO students, faculty, and staff.

Why don’t black people talk about mental health? What are the mental health needs of black college students? Where do I find the support I need as a black student on campus? Culture - a person's beliefs, norms, values and language - plays a key role in every aspect of our lives, including our mental health. Mental illness doesn't discriminate but people do. People of color in the United States battle with microaggressions, cultural/religious/ language barriers, and negative stereotypes. Making asking for help even more challenging, additionally students of color often face historical and cultural barriers when trying to access mental health services. This workshop will examines clinical and emotional aspects of mental illness along with the myths and stigma, that surround mental health in black communities. The purpose of this workshop is to educate the community on black mental health challenges, history, and resources. This workshop is free and open to UO students, faculty, and staff.
