Academic Resilience & Growth Mindset
Like many students, you may feel that classes at BYU are significantly more difficult than what you've experienced in the past. Learning to embrace challenges while not giving up on yourself is an essential skill for thriving instead of just surviving.
Successful Learning
Silvercloud (Online Self-Help)
SilverCloud is an online system designed to help you learn about and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. We also have a new program designed to help improve body image. Each program consists of articles, video clips, interactive activities, and short quizzes to help you learn about and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. You work through weekly activities with the support of one of our trained clinicians who reviews your progress and provides feedback and encouragement. Because the system is online, you can work whenever and from wherever best suits your needs! Finally, SilverCloud is well-researched--meaning there is good evidence that it works!
