Arkansas Tech University Counseling Services will offer a workshop entitled “Simple Assertiveness for Students” on Thursday, Oct. 22.
The free workshop will take place in Baswell Techionery room 202 from 4-5 p.m. Kristy Davis, Licensed Professional Counselor and associate dean for student wellness at Arkansas Tech, will lead the discussion.
“Being assertive means expressing your feelings, thoughts, wishes and needs when you want to, and standing up for yourself and your rights without violating the rights of others,” said Davis. “We will focus on assertiveness skills for dealing with criticism and disappointment, saying no, and being able to assertively give and receive compliments.”
