Want to know what actually makes people happier? This virtual CAPS workshop dives into the science of happiness and gives you practical, research-backed strategies to boost your mood and bounce back from stress. You’ll explore tools like gratitude, focusing on your strengths, and finding your “flow” to help you stay positive—even when life gets messy.

Tired of being tired? Whether you can’t fall asleep, don’t get enough of it, or just never feel rested, this virtual CAPS workshop is for you. You will discover how sleep can boost your academics, mood, energy, and even your likeability. We’ll cover topics such as sleep debt, how to figure out your "sleep number," napping like a pro, and tricks for shutting your overactive brain off at night. You’ll leave with practical information and tools you can start using right away.

Does your inner critic need a mute button? In this CAPS workshop, learn how to quiet that inner critic and swap self-judgment for self-compassion. You'll discover simple, real-life strategies to handle daily stress with more kindness, and you'll leave with practical tools you can actually use. You'll also make your own mini painting to take home as a reminder to practice self-compassion. No artistic talent necessary! All supplies are provided by CAPS.
