This drop-in group gives students practical information about how their nutrition and lifestyle choices affect their emotions, moods, and actions. Each session begins with a 30-minute psychoeducation session, followed directly by optional group exercise at the Wellness Center. Students can take part in the educational session only or the exercise session only, but to make sustainable, lasting lifestyle changes, we strongly encourage joining both.
Come join us for Artful Minds, an art-centered group designed to help students explore their emotions and experiences through creativity. Each week, we'll focus on a different mental health topic, such as anxiety, self-esteem, healthy relationships, and mindfulness, using themed art activities and guided group discussion. This group offers a safe, supportive space to build self-awareness, reduce stress, and connect with peers through the power of art. No artistic experience is required. Just come with an open mind and a willingness to create.
Drumbeat is a relaxed, enjoyable, and highly interactive group that focuses on building relationships, communicating, and managing social anxiety. You'll learn simple beats on a djembe drum, and no musical experience is required. Drumbeat is an evidence-based curriculum that uses drums, bilateral movement, and verbal processing to help you better understand healthy relationships and build effective strategies for coping with anxiety. It's a great fit if you're struggling to connect with others, feeling homesick, or simply looking to strengthen your social skills.
The group is limited to nine participants and keeps the same members throughout, so everyone gets the most benefit. Spots are first come, first served, and it may take a few weeks to fill the group, so join us soon.

It's a delightful way to support your wellbeing, and Sophie's too.
