Connecting While Apart: Undergraduate Process Group is geared towards undergraduate students experiencing social isolation and other challenges brought on by the current global pandemic (e.g., adjusting to remote learning; losing activities, internships, etc.). The group provides a safe, confidential space for students to find a sense of connection and shared understanding as well as an opportunity to learn from others’ experiences. Members will also learn how to make new relationships and/or improve existing ones. The ultimate goal is for members to gain greater self-knowledge and develop more meaningful connections with friends, family, partners, etc. The group requires a semester-long commitment.

Day and Time: Wednesdays, 3PM-4:30PM beginning on 2/17 (depending on student interest and availability)

Facilitators: Lauren Mirzakhalili, MSS, LCSW-C (She/her/hers) & Roshan Javadian, M. Psy. (She/her/hers)
