GEG YAP 2021-22 workshop 1: "Anxiety Turned into Motivation"

The GEG Youth Achievement Program (YAP) held a workshop entitled "Anxiety Turned into Motivation" on January 8 (Saturday). Through this workshop, the significance and characteristics of anxieties are introduced, and reviewed the existing methods of stress reduction, using breathing exercises, muscle relaxation, and meditation, so that YAP members could understand how to recognize themselves and put down their emotions.

In this workshop, Macau Management Association (MMA) invited two psychotherapists, Mr. Henry Lao and Mr. Hoi San Tam to be the instructors. The professional lectures and diversified experiential activities enhanced YAP members' awareness of anxiety disorders. During the workshop, YAP members also expressed that they benefited from the mini-game to choose pictures similar to their own hearts in order to understand their real needs and thoughts.

Throughout the program, YAP members were able to better understand their goals and needs, and they are looking forward to offering more courses in the future.
