Details
This workshop invites students to explore the impact of comparison culture on mental health, identity, and self-esteem. Participants will examine how social media and societal expectations shape self-worth, reflect on the gap between expectations and reality, and learn strategies to reconnect with their own values, confidence, and unique path forward.
This workshop is part of IE Mental Health Awareness Month: A Month of Emotions, and takes place during the Week of Anxiety, a space to honor difficult emotions and the wisdom they carry.
