First Generation Student Support: Students will have an opportunity to reflect on and raise awareness to the first-generation college student experience and investigate identity by advancing asset-based national narratives based on student experiences. Students will also have an opportunity to engage in Celebration Day to deepen community understanding of their respective culture and identity in hopes of deepening the community’s understanding of systemic barriers that exist in higher education and macro society. This group will be run by Kapil "Kap" Nayar, LPC, on Wednesdays at 5 p.m. in the SUITE (Corr Hall, Room 115). Virtual sessions of this group will be held on Wednesdays at 7 p.m.
LGBTQIA+ Support: Finding your place in the LGBTQIA+ community on campus, while also managing your emotional well being with the demands of college life, can feel overwhelming. This therapist-led group will provide a confidential, supportive and affirming environment where LGBTQ+ students can connect with one another, share their common experiences and challenges, and explore emotions related to their experiences. This group will be led by Dr. Victoria Ostroff at the Counseling Center. Day and time TBA.
Loss of a Loved One: Grief is a universal emotion, in that we will all experience it at some point in life, but it can be especially hard to lose someone significant while in college. This group is for students who have experienced the death of a loved one and are looking for support around the grieving process. This group will be led by Dr. Candice Post at the Counseling Center. Day and time TBA.
Roadmaps for Life's Transitions: This five-session course will offer tools to assess your values and consider ways to bring your life choices more in line with these values; build and enhance positive relationships in school, work, and in your personal life; and navigate life transitions and challenges more effectively. This may be particularly useful for students navigating transitions, like adjusting to college, returning from study abroad or preparation for graduation. This course will be led by Dr. Julia Stein at the Counseling Center. Day and time TBA.
Substance Use and Recovery Support: This group is for students who are either interested or active in recovery from substance use. Group will be led by Sean Dinan, LSW, and will meet on Fridays at 12:30 p.m. at the Counseling Center.
