Enhance Your Skills This Summer: CAPS Workshops for Clemson Faculty and Staff

Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) at Clemson University is offering specialized virtual workshops for its faculty and staff this summer. These workshops aim to improve personal and interpersonal skills through sessions spread over five weeks. Each session is 90 minutes long and takes place on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

The first workshop series starts the week of May 20, 2024, focusing on interpersonal relationships. The first two weeks will introduce mindfulness techniques to help reduce stress. The next three weeks will teach skills for effective interpersonal communication, especially useful after periods of isolation.

The second series begins the week of June 24, 2024, and will help participants manage difficult emotions. It starts with three weeks on emotional regulation to aid in handling emotions effectively. The last two weeks will cover distress tolerance, providing strategies to cope with stressful situations.

This is the fifth year that CAPS has offered these workshops, based on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). The workshops are open on a first-come, first-served basis, and faculty and staff can sign up for one or both series as needed.
