The Counseling Unit of BRAC University offers various types of workshops on timely psycho educational topics, healthy lifestyles, preventive measures and positive habits on campus to support and enhance the academic, professional, social and personal goals of students, faculty members and staff. As part of this awareness campaign, from March 28 to April 02, 2015, five members of this unit conducted four workshops titled Heal your Pain with total 72 female students of BRAC University at BRACU girls’ Hostel.
The objectives of these workshops were to assist the students to reenergize their inner selves and focus on their regular lives after any crisis or loss.
The workshop was started by showing a video presentation on Positive Affirmation, so that the participants can internalize into mind, body and soul, how it senses when we think, feel and behave positively. Later on, during the interactive discussions, the counselors explained the factors related to crisis and loss as well as some healthy ways to deal with these issues effectively. The workshops were ended by doing a powerful Positive Self Affirmation exercise to enable the participants to feel comfortable about themselves and the universe.
