What if it all works out?! Affirmations, Positive Self-Talk, & Mental Health

Patty Medina - Associate Director, Harford Community College, Bel Air, MD

We tend to be our own worst critic and the negative narrative that is fabricated in our minds often ends up giving us more stress and anxiety than the actual outcome. In this workshop, we hope to share and have candid conversations about these thoughts (to show others that we are not alone in this) and learn skills that help us with affirmations and positive self-talk, which in turn leads to better mental health.
