A major driver of help-seeking is whether the environment feels safe enough. This workshop explores why reaching out can feel hard even when support exists, how to notice early “not coping as usual” cues, and what everyday interactions can lower the cost of speaking up. You’ll leave with a shared language for common barriers and a few simple ways to respond that help people reach out earlier.

FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) has become a common experience in modern daily life. Many individuals feel compelled to frequently check their mobile devices and monitor social media, driven by a concern about missing trending topics or activities, as well as a tendency to compare their lives with those of others. However, by embracing JOMO (Joy of Missing Out), individuals can learn to focus on what truly matters to them and cultivate a sense of calm while appreciating the present moment. Through a combination of artistic activities—such as sand painting scented candle making—and guided sharing sessions, this workshop aims to support participants in naturally alleviating the pressures associated with FOMO.

New semester brings fresh beginnings, but it can also be a time when stress, confusion, and loneliness creep in.
