Support Group for Neurodivergent Students
In-person, eight-week therapy group, starting 3/1
Support Group
for Neurodivergent Students (In-Person, eight weeks) is an 8-week
in-person group incorporating information, skills: tips/tricks/hacks, and a
space to explore your unique self from a strengths-based perspective. The group is for
anyone wondering if you are neurodivergent or if you have been diagnosed as
neurodivergent (ADHD, processing disorders, autism, and more). We will learn
about common myths and stereotypes, burnout (how to prevent and address it),
and self-advocacy.
Day
and Time: Wednesdays 1 PM-2:30 PM (Starting March 1st)
The first step to joining any group is to complete a triage appointment with the counseling center. Please call us at 410-455-2542 to schedule. Masking may be necessary based on community COVID-19 transmission levels; please inquire with the counseling center or your group leader about masking requirements for the group.
For general group questions, please secure message our Group Coordinator Lauren Mirzakhalili, LCSW-C, via the patient portal: https://myretrievercare.umbc.edu/

From Feb. 3, 2023 - Feb. 15, 2023
NIH led fitness class for heart health month
Friday, February 3, 2023 12 - 12:30 PM Online
Each year on the first Friday in February, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, The Heart Truth® and others around the country celebrate National Wear Red Day® to bring greater attention to heart disease as a leading cause of death for Americans and steps people can take to protect their heart.
Join us Friday, February 3 to get #OurHearts pumping!
Wear red and join The Heart Truth, the NIH Fitness Center, and NHLBI leaders for 25 minutes of heart-pumping activity! During this live event, Drs. Gary Gibbons, NHLBI director, and David Goff, director of NHLBI's Division of Cardiovascular Sciences, will join NIH Fitness Instructor Linda Bessacque and others around the country for a sampling of fun aerobic exercises including kickboxing, dance, and flowing stretches. All fitness levels are welcome to participate.
When it comes to physical activity, aim for at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week. This can reduce your risk for heart disease and your chances of developing other risk factors, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and being overweight.
