General Questions

Who Should Attend Mindset Reset?

Almost everyone! Mindset Reset is meant to help students learn strategies for coping with everyday stress. While Mindset Reset can be helpful for students experiencing ongoing mental health concerns, such as anxiety and depression, it can also be really helpful for students who want to learn how to manage the stress of college. 

Who Leads Mindset Reset?

Clinicians from the Counseling and Testing Center.

Will I Have To Talk in Front of A Group or Share Personal Things?

No. There may be times when the counselor leading the workshop asks for a volunteer for an activity or invites people to share reactions or questions about an activity, but you don’t have to share if you do not want to. Mindset Reset is focused on learning coping skills, rather than talking through the concerns that may have led you to attend Mindset Reset.

What Happens After Mindset Reset?

At the completion of Mindset Reset, you will meet again with the counselor that referred you to the workshop. They will discuss with you your experience participating in Mindset Reset and collaborate with you about your next step in the counseling process.
