This 6-session support group, co-facilitated by two MHT clinicians, offers a student-centered space to show up as you are, connect with peers, and build community.

Together we’ll explore ways to navigate academic and professional stress, manage anxiety, reflect on identity-related experiences, and address impostor feelings- along with other student-led topics. The group also fosters moments of joy and connection as part of the healing process.

This group is held on Thursdays 8:30-9:30 AM, starting April 16, 2026. Meeting dates for spring quarter are 4/16, 4/23, 4/30, 5/7, 5/14, and 5/21. Sessions are both virtual and in-person.  In-person dates are 4/23, 5/7, and 5/21.
