Balancing the experience of graduate school, personal and family relationships, and everyday demands can feel overwhelming. It can be even more challenging when you have a disability, whether seen or unseen. This weekly group is a space for graduate students with disabilities to connect with their peers, share their experiences, learn from other students going through similar circumstances, and practice healthy coping skills. This group will encompass a wide range of topics, some of which might include academics, stress management, relationships, career challenges, cultural concerns, and coping with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sponsored by Student Accessibility Services (SAS) and Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS).
