Assertiveness Training:
Thursday 28th January 12 noon to 3.00pm at Balliol College
WOULD YOU LIKE TO FEEL MORE CONFIDENT THAT YOU CAN CLEARLY EXPRESS YOUR POINT OF VIEW TO OTHER PEOPLE?
Raising difficult matters with our peers, and particularly with our seniors, can be very daunting. Yet it is important that we build confidence that we can express our views and needs clearly and accurately at the most appropriate time, truthfully and without exaggeration. The aim of this workshop is to find a way to help you stand your ground with greater confidence when this seems appropriate.
The 3-hour interactive workshop is designed to get students started in expressing their views more clearly and with more confidence, and to decide when they might choose to do so.
The facilitator is Dr Peggy Frith, who advises clinical medical students at the Oxford University Medical School and also delivers assertiveness training within the University's popular Springboard personal development programme for women. She has designed this workshop particularly for undergraduates and will discuss some typical dilemmas you are likely to have faced.
The workshop is suitable for both men and women. It demands only the wish to begin to change, and a small amount of courage to 'have a go' at a modest problem of your own choice and practice expressing your own needs more clearly.

Well Being Week:
Everyone knows Oxford is stressful and can get you down. After labs, seminars and essay crises, it's hard to find time to look after yourself, but it needn't be a hassle - it should be fun!
In 3rd Week, there is a huge range of events and activities open to all students. Enjoy a countryside pub walk, sip aphrodisiac cocktails and nibbles while learning to salsa, attend workshops on mental health or disordered eating, explore female sexuality, try Tai Chi or meditation, watch Magdalen Film Society's 'Mentalities' series, or give your views on support for students with mental health difficulties.
