Lynn Gerstein, M.S.W. Black Women's Support Group For black women on a predominantly white campus, degrees of isolation, alienation, and loneliness can impact emotional and spiritual health. This group will offer space for black women students to share their wisdom and explore identity issues, self-esteem, and strategies for building community. If you have experienced the death of a family member or other significant person in your life, this group provides an opportunity for you to share thoughts, feelings, and insights in a safe and supportive environment with others. New members are welcome throughout the semester regardless of how recent or how long ago the loss may have been. This group will discuss strategies for changing the cycle of bingeing and purging in a supportive, caring environment.
Many people are in a perpetual struggle with emotions.
Their feelings seem too strong, and their emotions may provoke them to act in ways that they may regret. This group will give members practical strategies to manage their emotions more effectively. The group will meet weekly for an hour and a half. Ken Cohen, Ph.D. Graduate Student Support Group Graduate school years are often some of the toughest years. The work is demanding, expectations are high, control is low, and stress abounds.
