Join us for MHC’s September Collaborative Education Meeting! While chronic procrastination is not by definition a mental illness, it can result in high levels of stress, which in turn can exact a toll on one’s mental, as well as physical well-being – especially if it occurs over an extended period. It’s a pattern of behavior that can be changed and this program is designed to help chronic procrastinators do just that.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand when procrastinating behavior is helpful and when it's harmful. 

• Explore the consequences of procrastination and how it can negatively impact one’s well-being.

• Identify the reasons behind procrastinating behaviors so they can be more clearly understood and changed.

• Recognize the correlation between procrastination and perfectionism.

• Take home effective strategies to reduce procrastinating behaviors.
