Fort Hays State University’s next Science Café is set for Monday, Nov. 18

“Psychological Well-Being: The Good Life Beyond the Asymptomatic Life,” presentation is sponsored by FHSU's Science and Mathematics Education Institute (SMEI) and will begin at 7 p.m. Nov. 18 at The Venue in Thirsty’s Brew Pub & Grill, 2704 Vine.

This month’s presentation by Nathan Purdue, FHSU mental health counselor, will focus on what it means to flourish psychologically.

With so much of mental health focused on described abnormal and pathological psychological functioning, occasionally equating treatment success with lack of psychological symptoms, Purdue changes this focus when he asks, “How do scientists conceive of what it means to flourish psychologically?” Come and find out.

Science Café presentations are free and open to the public. Questions can be directed to Cari Rohleder at [email protected] or 785-628-4743 or by visiting:
