Koko Aʻe: Life Skills for Student Wellness Series

 

3 weeds 3 seed methodical daily tasking for busy bees

Introducing Koko A’e: Life Skills for Student Wellness – a mid day workshop series, led by NHSS staff that tackles student wellness one little piece at a time.

The challenge for students to stay on top of their studies and mental health is real. In many ways, these struggles are only compounded by the pandemic.
Each week, the Koko A’e workshop will share tangible, manageable actions that students can take to regain and maintain a sense of power over their studies and lives.
Koko A’e will be held from 12-1 in a breakout room during our daily NHSS drop-in virtual office hours. And one topic will be covered multiple times per week to accommodate class schedules.
First up – 3 Seeds & 3 Weeds! The daily tasking methods shared by Māhealani Nishimura are both useful and psychologically satisfying. You can use these skills throughout your lives. This is a time management workshop that we HIGHLY recommend for students who struggle to keep their assignments, readings, emails and everything else from piling up on top of them. That’s kind of all of us!
Check out the flyer, pick a day that works for your schedule and lock it in now. You won’t regret it. Bring a friend. The one you do everything but homework with. Join us by clicking here.

 

**********************************************************
Note: these workshops are meant to share skills and talk-story about strategies for organization and basic mental health. They are not meant or qualified to address serious mental health problems such as severe depression or severe anxiety. Please do reach out to us if you need help with these issues or consider contacting the UHM Counseling Center.
