Our goal is to provide a supportive therapeutic atmosphere conducive to personal disclosure, creation of new meanings, and understanding of self and others. The group is open to the Eastern Washington University community, and will be facilitated by Dr. Rob Quackenbush of Counseling and Psychological Services. If so, this group may be just right for you. Availability dependent upon student interest. The first half of each hour will be guided meditation and the second half will be silent meditation.
Participants can come for either or both, once or twice a week.
Coordinators of SAPP offer screening and referrals. Along with peer advisors, this office also provides psycho-educational pamphlets, groups, and workshops on alcohol, drug abuse, and dependency. Crisis Intervention CAPS is available Monday through Friday during regular working hours for crises. For cases of suicidal thoughts or attempts, the staff works to stabilize the student while an appropriate referral is made. In addition to working with students individually, CAPS offers educational programs to the larger university community.
