CSDC staff members are available to present workshops and classroom presentations on a wide variety of topics related to college success.  These programs can be requested for your student group or class.  If you would like to request one of the workshops listed and described below or have an idea about a workshop you would like, please call us at (808) 956-7927.

Workshops

Stress Management
Stress is an unavoidable part of college life.  This workshop will examine different strategies used to decrease stress and help participants choose ways to better manage the stress in their lives.

Time Management
Time is finite but the demands on one's time often seem infinite.  Learning to balance school, work, and other demands is necessary for academic success.  We could assist you in exploring effective time management strategies.

Understanding your Personality
Each of us have unique talents and strengths that we can use to our advantage.  By learning about personality using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), workshop participants can identify their own personal strengths.
*note* this workshop requires participants to take the MBTI assessment prior to the workshop. (Fee $12, requires 2-3 days to process)

On-demand Workshops
A variety of workshops can be designed to suit the needs of a class or student group. Contact the Outreach Coordinator at 956-7927 to discuss ideas for workshops you may have. Examples are:

Faculty & Staff Development Workshops

CSDC staff members are available to present faculty and staff development workshops on a variety of topics.  These programs can be requested for your faculty or staff group. 

Basic Counseling/Peer Counseling Skills
We know that basic skills assist us in developing relationships.  We could assist you, your students, or staff in developing these types of skills in working with others.

Helping Students with Problems
College students may encounter a variety of problems related to learning, emotions, social relationships, or substance abuse.  Sometimes it may be difficult to know what is affecting a student's academic performance.  The focus would be to discuss some of the common concerns that students face and focus on skills for recognizing problems and helping students.  Skills include awareness, listening, problem-solving, maintaining healthy student / teacher relationship boundaries, and referral.  Campus resources which can support you will also be discussed.

Consultation

CSDC can help students, staff, or faculty members solve organizational problems, overcome interpersonal difficulties, and plan staff development programs.  Additionally, you may wish to consult with our staff if you are troubled by organizational discord or are concerned about the behavior of a student or associate.  All consultations are confidential, and you do not need to reveal any identifying information about the person who is causing your concern.

Crisis/Conflict Consultation
CSDC staff are available to support faculty/staff/departments during times of crisis or to help cope with a critical event such as injury or loss of a member of the group.   We can assist you in these matters that may arise when people are feeling stressed, sad, or frightened.

National/Local Awareness Events
