“It’s stressing us all out,” says Instructor Debbie Leaman, who teaches the class, “Writing as a Tool to Cope with Anxiety.” She states, “The good news? Writing can help. Studies have shown that unloading persistent thoughts onto the page can alleviate anxiety, provide distance, and a new perspective. In my class we’ll learn how putting pen to paper can help re-center us and calm our minds.”
Lifelong Learning has been offering non-credit classes to the community for over 60 years, spanning one-day workshops to eight-week courses taught by local experts. Admission to the University of Utah is not required and registration is currently open with classes starting weekly, conveniently during evenings and weekends.
