Are you tired of Twitter snark and mindless arguments online? Do you want to have thoughtful conversations with individuals from different backgrounds? Do you have too much free time on Valentines?

The Philosophers' Café is a public forum in which community members discuss interesting contemporary issues in a relaxed and informal setting.
Our next meeting is February 12, 7pm, at Brewery Nonic. The topic is "Where the Wild Things Are" and will be moderated by Dr. Julie Beston (Biology, UW-Stout). Here is the abstract:
"As human civilization has expanded, the wild places of the world have shrunk, and the diversity and abundance of wild animals have diminished. What responsibility do we have to those wild things? Humans evolved, just like every other species on the planet. So why are our modifications of the world around us viewed so differently from the activity of other ecosystem engineers, like beavers? What limits should we place on our use of wilderness and wildlife? Such limits are often controversial; just consider the relisting of wolves a year after Wisconsin’s ill-fated 2021 hunt or the implementation of reservation requirements in some national parks. When we lack the will or the resources to save all the wild things, how do we decide which ones are acceptable losses?"
Join us for some fun discussion! Everyone is welcome!

“Connecting with others is rewarding; it makes us feel like we’re not alone in the world.” – Jonah Berger
In the Student Counseling Center at UW-Stout, we offer many different modes of therapy to support the students, but one of the modes of connection and support that people often don’t think about are groups. Individual therapy is absolutely wonderful, but group therapy can often be more powerful than individual therapy, as it can support people in a way that promotes community, learning from others and helping to reduce stigma both personally and with others. It is an incredible way to work on your personal mental health goals, and find support and connection. Please see below for more benefits of group counseling:
Helps participants realize that others have similar struggles and issues.
Helps you relate to others (and yourself!) in healthier ways.
Everyone will be at different places in treatment, and can offer unique perspectives, skills, and ways of coping.
Offers the opportunity to both receive and give support.
Provides a safety net for individuals who maybe anxious or worried about sharing their feelings.
Develop selflessness and compassion.
