Students of Color Support Group Being a student of color on a predominantly white campus can take its toll emotionally and academically. This group will allow participants to share feelings, explore racial identity and white privilege, develop positive self-esteem and understand how differences influence their everyday relationships to themselves or others. The group also provides students an opportunity to talk about their chemical use in a variety of topics. Some group topics include coping, stress reduction, peer and intimate relationships, family dynamics, college life, cognitive restructuring, communication, leisure time, wellness, and self-care skills. A referral can come from administrative persons, students, and other staff.
Students can self-refer.
The group will provide a special relationship with your peers where you will feel that very rare opportunity of being able to discuss openly the academic aspects of your life.
