In a world where so much feels unpredictable—global conflicts, local violence, financial pressures, job insecurity/changes, political tension, and personal/familial stressors—we are all feeling overwhelmed. This workshop offers a supportive space for faculty and staff to acknowledge and navigate these complex emotions together.

Within the 50-minute Zoom together we will settle our nervous systems with a brief mindfulness exercise, a writing prompt to identify feelings, and an opportunity to connect and share helpful coping strategies.

These workshops, facilitated by Jennelle Liljestran, LCSW, counselor from the Faculty & Staff Assistance Program, are designed to foster community, compassion, and resilience. All Cornell faculty and staff are warmly welcome.

Join us on one or more of the following dates (register for each session individually):

To get the most out of our Zoom meetings, please be sure you’re in a quiet, private space.
