Striving for happiness and freeing ourselves from suffering are our natural tendencies as human beings. Despite our strong desire to stay away from pain and suffering, trials and tribulations are an inevitable part of going through life. It is important to take a closer look at the pains that we go through in life and rethink about whether or not avoidance strategies are so effective. Dr. Huaiyu Zhang, a faculty member and clinical psychologist at the UCSF/ZSFG Trauma Recovery Center, will lead a discussion on the normalization of depression experience and share evidence-based and culturally sensitive strategies that are rooted in mindfulness and acceptance. It will be a very interactive process as Dr. Zhang strongly believes in the efficacy of experiential learning, which is learning through active participation. Please come and join us in this class to learn more about realistic and alternative ways of addressing depression that is closely in line with Eastern philosophy. This is a free and bilingual (English/ Cantonese) lecture. All are welcome.
