Bring the chaos in your head, all 9 volumes of your to-do list, and your laptop! In this workshop, we will discuss Getting Things Done (GTD), a popular system developed by David Allen for structuring your work at both the big-picture level and at the level of your daily responsibilities. You will assemble the beginnings of your trusted system that clears your mind, increases your focus, and helps you make decisions about what to do.
*This workshop and the presenters are not affiliated in any way with Getting Things Done, David Allen, or the David Allen Company.

Grieving can feel isolating, especially when you're juggling classes, midterms, research, helping others around you, and everything else life throws your way. But you don't have to carry it alone.
Counseling Services is offering a support group on Wednesday, February 25th, at noon where students can connect with peers who are all dealing with complex emotions around grief. It's a safe, non-judgmental space to share experiences and feelings, and to find comfort with others who are also going through it.
The support group will be guided by a caring mental health professional who understands the many complicated ways grief can show up. Group facilitators will help keep the space safe, structured, and supportive while offering insight and healthy coping tools. Together, you can find comfort in knowing you're not alone and build resilience through community and connection.
Come as you are. No RSVP needed.

Winter 2026 Groups
We're a drop-in mindfulness meditation group open to all Caltech students. No previous experience is required; we offer techniques that are appropriate for everyone from newbies to more experienced meditators. There's no religious component: We offer secular practices that are, whenever possible, based in research.
We meet every Tuesday from 12:00 - 12:50 pm at Hameetman Club Room 2 (bottom floor).

Mindfully Resilient is an 8-week in-person class focused on helping prevent relapse of depression and anxiety. You'll learn to identify your specific triggers for relapse, and will learn the skill of mindful awareness to cope with those triggers when they arise.
