societal structures, and focuses on employing a liberation, anti-oppression psychology
approach as we process the ways in which internalized oppression manifests itself in our lives.

This support group aims to help individuals develop meaningful and healthy
romantic relationships. It provides a safe space to explore feelings, thoughts,
and behaviors within the context of relationships as well as increasing self-awareness to tackle different relational concerns. This group will assist you in

class. Rather it will be a workshop that teaches one or more mindfulness techniques

mindfulness meditation adjacent to the course, but it will not be required. The main
objective will be to identify key moments in the participants life that could benefit with a greater sense of mindfulness.

Each class will teach a technique and it will be encouraged to practice and record ther
use of the technique between sessions. Participants will be encouraged to journal their
thoughts.

This group provides a safe space for foreign Asian nationals who immigrated to the United States.

Research has shown that self-confidence is linked to almost everything we want in life: success at work, secure relationships, a positive sense of self, and happiness. But what is self-confidence? Why does it appear to be so mysterious? Why does it seem like other people have it and we don’t? The goal of this group is to define what your self confidence is, where it comes from, and how to set, work toward, and implement those goals into your daily life. This group will also discuss coping skills and mindfulness exercises that can aid in improving one’s anxiety surrounding trying new things.

This group will serve as a supportive and safe talk space for Black Women. Topics of discussion will be based on racial identity, stereotypes, self-image, self-esteem, empowerment and community.

The only supplies needed for this workshop is a pen and paper.

As the global COVID-19 pandemic enters a new phase and many of us return to in-person workplaces, classrooms, and social events, new levels of social anxiety are natural. In this four-week workshop, we’ll work together to gain a better understanding of social anxiety and anxious thought patterns. Additionally, we'll focus on social anxiety management through mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-based skill development. We’ve designed this workshop to fit a variety of needs and welcome anyone hoping to learn more about social anxiety.

Most of us know how to be kind to a friend in need. But are we always a good friend to
ourselves? Self-compassion is the practice of meeting our own suffering with kindness. It asks, “What do I need?” Mindfulness, or nonjudgmental awareness, is the foundation for self-compassion practices.

This group will explore how mindfulness and self-compassion can help us to better cope with stress in different areas of our lives. Group members will have the opportunity to participate in formal meditation exercises, share their experiences and learn from others in informal group discussions, and develop a personalized set of self-compassion practices to incorporate into their daily lives.

Typical Structure: 5-10 minutes opening meditation exercise, 40-50 minutes open discussion, 5-10 minutes closing meditation exercise.
