As the past two years have taught us, life can be full of unexpected twists and turns. While external circumstances are often beyond our control, the way we react and respond can define who we are.

On Wednesday, February 9, Pace’s Chief Wellness Officer, in collaboration with the College of Health Professions is hosting a special event to address mental health and resilience in the student population at Pace. STOP + SHIFT: The Mindset that Changes Everything will feature a keynote presentation from growth mindset coach, author, and motivational speaker Karen Allen, who will share her journey from overwhelming grief after a tragic loss to joy and resilience, due to an important shift of thinking.

“Undergraduate and graduate students across the country have been increasingly challenged pre- and intra-pandemic with stress, anxiety, and a host of mental health conditions,” said CHP’s Chief Wellness Officer and Dean Emerita Harriet Feldman. “We chose to focus on resilience as this is a critical aspect of wellness–being able to bounce back from adversity is key to moving forward in a positive direction. ‘Stop and Shift’ is a technique to get you there!”
