Workshop
“Can I Not Go to School?"
Spring 2026
Ms. Christina Yu, a Psychotherapist, shed light on the stress experienced by university students and further discussed the global context, raising awareness of this widespread issue. Throughout the session, she guided participants to engage in mindfulness practices, helping them become fully present in the moment. She also highlighted how social, familial, and cultural expectations could create underlying conflicts for young people, contributing to this broader global issue. By the end of the workshop, Christina provided worksheets with guiding questions to facilitate reflection on participants’ personal experiences. Participants were encouraged to reflect on meaningful moments from the past that demonstrated their ownership of decisions and autonomy in shaping their lives, empowering them to pursue diverse paths forward.
