Healing the Heart

This group is for students who have experienced trauma from other people (i.e. family of origin, experiences of interpersonal violence, etc). If we’ve experienced harm or trauma in relationships, healing can often come from healthy relationships. This group will give students an opportunity to learn and implement various coping skills as well as connect with others who have shared experiences in their own lives. This group aims to instill hope in its participants as we work, learn, and grow in a supportive community space.
Facilitator: Fallyn Lee, Ph.D.

Kindful Body

Do you struggle with your body image and self-esteem? Do you wish to have a more compassionate and holistic relationship with your body and mind? Then this group is for you. This group hopes to create a warm, supportive, and informative space for students to come together and learn new things about one’s self.
Facilitator: Asmita Pendse, Ph.D.
