The Psychology of Journaling and Wellbeing
Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do for ourselves is take a moment to put words to what we're carrying. This one-hour journaling workshop is open to everyone - whether you've kept a journal for years, tried it once and moved on, or have always been a little curious but never quite started. We'll explore what the science tells us about the benefits of journaling, unpack four different ways to journal so you can find the approach that fits your life, and spend time writing together in a space that's low-pressure and judgment-free.
You'll leave with:
Practical tools to begin and build a habit
Ways to come back to the page when life gets in the way - because it will, and that's okay
The reassurance that your journal entries are entirely private, as this is a personal journey of self-discovery and reflection
No writing experience needed. Just bring yourself and a journal or something to write with.
In celebration of Mental Health Awareness Month, The Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FSAP) is delighted to welcome Dr. Nicolas Bob as our guest presenter for this special webinar.
Bio: Nicolas Bob, PsyD (he/him) is a licensed clinical psychologist currently working as a staff psychologist at California College of the Arts. Previously, he was a postdoctoral fellow at UCSF's Faculty and Staff Assistance Program in 2024.
Dr. Bob holds a deep belief that creativity and self-expression are not peripheral. Instead, he sees them as acts of courage essential to what it means to live a full and examined life. Dr. Bob views art, writing, and storytelling not as separate from well-being but as some of its most honest expressions. This shapes how he works with people: less about fixing, and more about helping them author the story they most want to live.
He is passionate about creating spaces - clinical and communal - where people feel free to explore who they are, give voice to what they carry, and find meaning in the telling of it.
He is glad you're here.
In celebration of Mental Health Awareness Month, FSAP is offering a series of webinars throughout May. Visit our website to view the full schedule:
