LGBTQ Student & Ally Discussion Group: 8-9pm biweekly on Mondays beginning
January 30, Cudahy Hall, Room 143
Co-facilitated by Steve Blaha (Campus Ministry) and Angela Zapata, PhD (Counseling Center)
- Are you a member of the LGBTQ community or an Ally to the community?
- Do you want to create a more inclusive campus community?
- Do you want a safe place to discuss issues that are important to the LGBTQ community?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be interested in attending the LGBTQ Student and Ally Discussion Group. This safe, confidential group is a space where you can discuss the issues that are important to you. Topics for discussion will be determined by the group members. This is not a therapy group.
Taking ACTion to Manage Mood and Anxiety
- Do you feel sad, lonely or worried much of the time?
- Do you want to make positive changes in your life but don't know how to get yourself "unstuck"?
- Do you want to learn how to face your problems head on, rather than avoid them?
- Do you want to learn how to experience uncomfortable emotions without becoming stuck in them?
This group offers a chance to meet with other students who also have these experiences and want to learn how to improve their mood and make positive changes. Come learn a new way to approach your daily life while supporting each other! This group is base on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on improving one's ability to engage in values-based, positive behaviors, while experiencing uncomfortable thoughts and feelings.
