The three activities were directed towards the search for people's psychological well-being.

Various work tools to practice how to take care of yourself was the main topic of the three self-care workshops given jointly by the Extension Directorate and the Center for Psychological Care and Comprehensive Health, CAPSI, of the University of La Serena.

''Relax your day, Relax your life'', ''Happiness day by day'' and ''Managing my stress'', brought together people of various ages, students, older adults and the general public, around a theme so necessary but far away at the same time, taking care of oneself, and the importance of the so-called protective factors in daily life. 

''How society is today in Chile, there are many factors that do not depend on us, such as environmental factors, whether noise, food, etc. So treating protective factors such as relaxation techniques, for example, is super important to be able to lead an optimal and quality life,'' said Julio Gutiérrez, workshop rapporteur and practicing psychologist at CAPSI. 

The professionals, Bianca Payacán and Julio Gutiérrez, led by psychologist Fernanda Castillo, delivered practical relaxation techniques, easy to learn and replicable in homes, with the intention of providing beyond a lecture class, a practical tool.

''The workshop was excellent, I found it from every point of view assimilable to anyone, and they are things that are useful for everyday life and that is very important. It is a word that is so fashionable and so overused, everyone says stress and no one knows what it really is and here it was known,'' commented María Angélica Brito. 

The professionals highlighted the importance of generating this type of workshops, since society has too many needs and little supply, a situation that these units took to organize these 3 self-care workshops framed in the ''Academic Workshops 2014'' of the Extension Directorate ULS.
