Life at Duke Law

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer - the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. Space is limited and registration is required: https://duke.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6QIrC9lXrERVBfU. This program is presented by Duke Counseling and Psychological Services and sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs. For more information, contact Rachel Mwombela at rachel.mwombela@duke.edu.

Interested in learning new skills to help you manage your stress? Join a 4 session Koru Mindfulness course that will teach you the skill of mindfulness. Mindfulness develops self-awareness that informs all of your important life choices and helps maintain peace of mind - among other benefits! The course will help you build the habit of using mindfulness in your life on a regular basis, with just 10 minutes per day. We've found that folks get a lot more out of Koru if they stick with it from beginning to end, therefore we ask you to commit to attend all 4 sessions. The course will meet in person on Tuesdays (October 25, November 1, November 8, & November 15) and will be led by certified Koru instructor, Kelli Raker (Academic Affairs). Open to students, faculty, and staff from across Duke University. If you would like to sign up to attend or for more information, please email Kelli Raker at kelli.raker@law.duke.edu by Thursday, October 20, 2022. Class size is limited to 15 people.

Join us virtually for this week-long celebration of research including an exciting array of faculty lectures and panel discussions; graduate student, trainee, and postdoctoral fellow flash talks; and special guest speakers presenting the Robert J. Lefkowitz, MD, Distinguished Lecture and Daubechies Lecture 2022.

One of the cruelest voices we hear can be the one that is in our own heads. Despite often hearing that we should be hard on ourselves to succeed, research shows that self-criticism prevents us from overcoming setbacks and achieving our goals. This session will demonstrate robust evidence for, and opportunities to practice, a different internal voice - one of self-compassion. Presented by Dr. Carrie Adair, Assistant Director of Research at the Duke Center for Healthcare Safety and Quality and sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs.
