Pirates Navigating Distress

Pirates Navigating Distress is a 3-session virtual skills seminar created for ECU students. This guided virtual learning tour is designed to introduce (and revisit) skills for coping with distress and times of change (rough seas), shifting from surviving to thriving (finding your sea legs), and cultivating a rich and meaningful life (steering the ship). 

Each module will provide you an introduction to a set of skills, as well as tips and resources for diving deeper on your own. The ideal progression is to complete the modules in order 1, 2, then 3; however, this is not required.

Virtual small group sessions are facilitated by CCSD team members who will serve as guides to helping you make the most of your experience. Sign up by logging onto The Pirate Experience and search for “Pirates Navigating Distress” or “CCSD”.

If we believe you could benefit from a higher level of care; as the Let’s Talk counselor, we will make every effort to refer you to other supportive resources, including our counseling center:
