Hey you, yea you, you’re doing great today. Keep it up!

I completely encourage self-advocacy. BUT only if you feel safe/ready to do so. In some positions, like grad student, self-advocacy can trigger punitive actions. I.e. You’re being aggressive so now you can only talk to X admin. It’s important to push, but pushing comes at a price

PhD studies are the highest level of #education, and the road can be frustrating and exhausting at times, but the final result (your #dissertation) is at the same time a major achievement in life, and a very rewarding event.#MotivationalMonday @PhDTalk

Sometimes you can't find a Master's/PhD supervisor who is a "big name" AND your biggest supporter. Choose your supervisor wisely, because having a supervisor who is your champion will get you a lot further than someone who is good for your career in name only.

Schedule in your days off and your self care like they are critical time points in a protocol, because they are. Self care is not just a reward for hard work, it is a critical component to working hard.

Reminder that you need to take care of yourself to do your best work!
A great way to de-stress and refresh your mind is through exercise. Nicole, one of our PhD candidates, uses rock wall climbing and bouldering as a healthy way to reset. @InnerPeaks #climbing #healthpsychology

The real star of our program: Norah, the beloved service dog! Norah is a Psychiatric Facility Dog and is trained to help people learn to identify and regulate their emotions by alerting them when emotions start to run high.

Her handler is one of our clinical students, Victoria. She often comes to work (and class) with Victoria, so we all know that anyone who loves dogs should try to match their classes with her!

UNC Charlotte is only 20 minutes from Uptown Charlotte. We are fortunate to be so close to such a vibrant city!
