• An Introduction to Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (4-Session Group Program)
  This 4-session group program offers busy students a shortened version of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), an evidence-based group program designed to help participants cultivate mindfulness and develop mindfulness-based skills to cope with various life stressors effectively for a wide range of physical and mental health benefits. Meeting weekly via Zoom and commiting to daily practice over the course of a month, participants will deepen their understanding of mindfulness and support one another in buildling "mindfulness muscle" in the brain. If you have any questions about this group program, contact Dr. Masami Matsuyuki at masami.matsuyuki@wku.edu.
• Psychological Skills for Helping Self, Relationships, & Communication (5-Session Group Program)
  This 5-session group program is an adapted version of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Training designed to help participants improve their intrapersonal, interpersonal, and communication skills. Intended as a self-help psychoeducational group for college students, not a group therapy for treatment of mental disorders, each session builds sequentially on foundational concepts introduced in the first two sessions. To gain the full benefits, participants are strongly encouraged to attend all five sessions and practice their newly learned skills between sessions.If you have any questions about this group program, contact Dr. Masami Matsuyuki at masami.matsuyuki@wku.edu.
