Healthy Balance Group
When: 3:15-4:30 p.m.
A process oriented group for students struggling with issues of food, eating and body image. Together we will focus on exploring food and body image issues. Members will also explore the impact that these issues have on relationships, and one’s self-image and self-acceptance. The goal is to help members move toward a better understanding of their relationship with food and a healthier acceptance of themselves. Please call x5700 to arrange an initial interview.
TopStraddling Worlds: Exploring Life as a First-Generation College Student
When: 3:15 to 4:30 p.m.
Entering college is an exciting time, but for students who are the first in their family to go to college it can also be an especially stressful transition to make. First-generation college students face unique academic, social, and emotional challenges as they navigate higher education for the first time. Often first-generation students struggle to balance the demands of being a family member along with the expectations of college. If you are a first-gen student, it may feel as though you are straddling between two worlds: the world of academia and the world of family life. This group aims to provide a space to explore these challenges, as well as receive support and feedback from other students who share this experience. Call x5700 for an initial interview.
TopMasks and Mirrors
When: 3:15 to 4:30 p.m.
Call x5700 and make an appointment for an initial interview.
Masks and Mirrors is a weekly psychotherapy group where students have the opportunity to explore their lives with peers. Confidential meetings allow for students to share personal feelings, ideas and difficulties with each other. The group interaction can assist you in learning about yourself and help others in their growth.
TopRelationship Group
When: 3:15 to 4:30 p.m.
Call x5700 and make an appointment with Wendy and Sarah for an initial interview.
Relationships are important in all of our lives. However, the skills to navigate them effectively are not intuitive or automatic for many of us. This weekly group is for students who want to improve their relationships with fellow students, friends, families, and/or romantic partners. Those who would like support in discovering new ways of coping with difficult interpersonal issues are welcomed.
TopLoss of a Loved One
When: Day and time to be determined
The passing away of someone close to us can lead to varying emotions. Be it parent, friend, family member, or partner, the sense of loss can lead to challenging feelings, such as: sadness, uncertainties, anger, and isolation. And, it can potentially change the way we relate to others, as well as how others relate to us. This group creates a space for the student to share stories, struggles, and ways of healing, with others going through the grief process.
