Eating and Body Image Concerns
Tuesdays, 3:00-4:30 PM
This is an inclusive space intended for those struggling in their relationship with food, movement, and/or their bodies. It will include a combination of semi-structured skills-based psychoeducation, connecting with others with similar experiences, increasing awareness of the origins and nature of these concerns, and challenging societal expectations of appearance and diet culture. The group is confidential, meets weekly throughout the semester, and uses a Health At Every Size and anti-diet framework. Because eating and body image concerns can impact individuals regardless of their identities, this group welcomes members of any gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, body size/shape, and background. For more information please schedule a Phone Screening or reach out to Kristen Swope or Erin Buttars.
Roll For Insight
Wednesdays, 3:00-4:30 PM
This group is open to undergraduate or graduate students who are interested in building interpersonal skills and exploring identity through therapeutic tabletop role-playing quests with elements similar to D&D. No previous experience with TTRPG’s is needed, as this will be a simplified format that focuses more on problem-solving and social interaction rather than combat or complex puzzles. Members will create characters and practice playing roles that fit various archetypes which describe how they engage with each other and the world around them. In this supportive environment, they will be challenged to try out archetypes that don’t necessarily fit their typical ways of interacting, or that lean further into their existing strengths. (If they are up to it, they can even complete challenges related to their archetypes in the real world between sessions!) In session, players will work as a team to complete a variety of quests from week to week. Though storylines and settings will vary, success in these quests will be based on cooperation, communication, creativity, empathy, fortitude, and of course, the luck of the dice! For more information please schedule a Phone Screening or reach out to Christina Szuch or Candace McConaha.
Surviving to Thriving
Wednesdays, 4:15-5:45 PM
This gender-inclusive group is for students that have experienced any form of sexual violence—which includes but is not limited to sexual harassment, sexual assault, relationship violence, non-consensual sexual contact, childhood abuse and stalking. This group will offer a semi-structured format where group members will receive and offer support as well as address common concerns related to experiences of sexual violence. Group sessions will have a general structure and cover a range of topics such as trauma-informed coping skills, managing nightmares and flashbacks, addressing common stuck points in the healing process, relationships and restoring intimacy. For more information please schedule a Phone Screening or reach out to Kaylee Enscoe or Michaela Holloway.
Understanding Self and Others
Mondays, 1:30-3:00 PM
