Mental Health + Anger Management Workshop

​Volunteer with us to host an open, restorative workshop designed to help shelter residents build tools for managing PTSD, anxiety, and anger in close quarters. This session focuses on mindfulness, emotional regulation, and healthy communication — offering residents practical coping skills to navigate daily stressors and relationships more peacefully.

​Through guided discussions and interactive exercises, residents will explore grounding techniques, breathing practices, and journaling prompts that encourage self-reflection and awareness. The workshop emphasizes that emotional control is not about suppression, but about understanding one’s triggers and choosing healthier responses.

​Each participant will receive small notebooks and colored pens to support their ongoing mindfulness and journaling practice. Volunteers will help facilitate activities, model calming strategies, and provide a safe, empathetic environment where every resident feels seen and supported.

​Volunteers are required to attend a 30-minute pre-meeting at 9:30 AM on October 26th to review key workshop materials and instructions.

​Date: October 26
Time: 9:30 AM
Location: Meet at the University Religious Center
For those meeting us directly at the shelter, please arrive by 10:00 AM.
