Moderating Anxiety Program
(MAP)
Anxious? Worried? Stressed?
Don't know where to start to address your anxiety?
Let us give you a MAP!
Join our Moderating Anxiety Program (MAP) to better understand your anxiety process and learn strategies to help you cope with your feelings.
MAP may be helpful to you if
- Anxiety gets in the way of your schoolwork, socializing, other activities?
- You worry incessantly about what might go askew?
- A nagging voice in your head is always anticipating the next problem?
MAP groups will meet once a week for 3 consecutive weeks. The following coping strategies for dealing with anxiety will be taught:
- Relaxation and Meditation Strategies--to help you reduce tension and increase feelings of calm;
- Cognitive Reformulation Strategies--to help you tune into and reformulate the voice inside your head that revs up your anxiety;
- Exposure Strategies--to help you systematically gain ground in any activity you have abandoned or decreased because of your anxiety.
If you are a Duke student and think you might be interested in participating in one of these seminars, the steps for you to take are:
- If you have already met with a CAPS counselor this academic year, speak with your counselor about your interest in MAP;
- If you have not met with a CAPS counselor this year, call CAPS for an initial evaluation meeting;
- If you have questions about the program or how to sign up, call CAPS (660-1000).
