Are you anxious about your upcoming move following graduation? Going
in absentia or taking a leave of absence and figuring out how to finish your dissertation away from Ithaca? Unsure how to cultivate a new support system?
The Graduate and Professional Student Mental Health Committee is offering a 4-week (with possibility of extension) student support group during the month of June focused on helping graduate and professional students navigate moments of transition. This confidential space will offer students the opportunity to talk with peers dealing with similar challenges surrounding transitions, including moving away from Ithaca, but also other major life changes. The group will be facilitated by EARS-trained counselors and feature guest visits from Gannett and student services staff, who will offer guidance on coping strategies and help students come up with a plan of action for the forthcoming year.
Meetings will be on Wednesdays from 12:00 - 1:00 PM in Willard Straight Hall, room 411. Our next meeting is Wednesday June 15. Please RSVP
here, so we know numbers for food--lunch will be provided. You can also email Mia Tootill (
[email protected]) if you have any questions or concerns.
