Abstract:
|
Gratitude: One Pro-Social Approach for Students Who Are Stressed, Struggling, and / or Scared
Based on the work and research of psychologists and educators, this interactive poster will encourage participants to think reflectively about gratitude (what it means to them, how it feels), and will ask them to consider questions about the benefits, impacts, and drawbacks of gratitude. When students or advisors are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or discouraged (or other challenging emotions), gratitude is a pro-social strategy / perspective that gives space for a reset or re-imaging of difficult situations. Participants will engage with the poster by writing their impressions, talking with other participants, and taking away ideas or impressions for deeper thought. Appropriate for advisees and co-workers, for colleges large or small, public or private, or for staff meetings and professional development. |
