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!”
