Wellness Webinars
New for 2025! Stand-alone mental health webinars on topics relevant to people working in higher education and research.
Webinars are an opportunity to gain knowledge and skills about a common problem. They are also known in mental health communities as "workshops", but this does not mean the same thing as it does in academia! You will not be expected to talk or share your own experience. Find out more about the difference between a workshop and therapy here.
Open to anyone working in or around academia and presented online. Sign up to receive an email when new workshops are added.
Managing Anxiety When Academia is in Crisis
Online Wellness Webinar
The last few weeks have been disorientating and stressful for people working in research and higher education in the United States. Academics and others working in and around higher education are already notoriously over-stretched, with high rates of depression, stress, and anxiety. But threats to federal funding, the attack on so-called DEI, and the general atmosphere of uncertainty and fear are pushing colleges and universities - and by extension the people working in them - into an existential and mental health crisis. Led by a licensed mental health counselor who specializes in working with academics, in this workshop we explore how to manage stress, fear, and anxiety while staying true to your values.
Issues to be addressed include: I want to do SOMETHING but I was already overcommitted to start with. Privilege and guilt. Balancing staying sane with staying informed. Is my fear getting out of proportion? Living according to your moral compass. Practical things you can do right now to protect your boundaries.
