We've all dealt with low motivation and feeling stuck. We know what we want to do, but we can't bring ourselves to get moving. These are the times when we procrastinate, daydream, panic, or just stay in bed. This workshop focuses on evidence-based techniques to help you start taking effective action – even when you don't feel like it. We'll review practical steps to get yourself moving, and we'll cover some ways of changing your mindset so things don't feel so overwhelming. Come join us!
Caltech Connect training is a 2-hour interactive experience designed to give participants practical skills for having supportive conversations and making referrals to resources for those in crisis. Caltech Connect training is based on the Campus Connect program developed by Syracuse University. While a substantial portion of the training is dedicated to suicide prevention and statistics related to the mental health of college students, the skills presented are applicable to a wide range of concerns.
Facilitators work with participants to enable role-play within a safe and contained environment. Caltech Connect is highly interactive, as participants engage in multiple exercises throughout the training to increase both their skills and awareness concerning the emotional intensity of responding to suicidal college students. The training culminates with a role play, in which participants are given the opportunity to practice the skills they are taught during the course of the training.

Fall 2025 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).
