Kathryn Woicicki: Supporting Yourself and Others

This episode is a little different than normal, it’s specifically
about mental health, and includes student resources and a
counselor’s perspective on mental health challenges at Santa
Clara. Kathryn Woicicki is a staff psychologist for Cowell Center
Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) at Santa Clara.
Kathryn did her undergraduate studies at UC Santa Cruz and her
doctoral program at the Palo Alto University Stanford Psy. D
Consortium. Her areas of specialty include self-acceptance,
relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, multicultural
issues and identity development. 


In this conversation, we dive into anxiety, depression and stress
and how students can deal with the inevitable pressures of
college life. Kathryn discusses different resources available and
how students can help friends. This episode doesn’t dive into
Kathryn’s personal story so much as practical information on
addressing mental health challenges, but I think it’s a very
relevant message that has the potential to improve the lives of
students.
