Developing awareness of the mindsets inherent in the systems we inhabit is key to better understanding how and why we think the way we do.  By identifying our mindsets, we can learn to challenge ourselves, step out of our comfort zones, and think more flexibly. A flexible mindset opens up new opportunities, enhances wellbeing, and reveals new doors to success.

For students only. Hosted by Counseling and Psychological Services (CaPS)
