Graduate Student Support 

The graduate student support group provides a space for students to discuss common experiences of graduate school including thesis/dissertation, research and teaching expectations, and concerns with graduate advisors, funding, and family and other relationships. Students have benefited from receiving support and guidance from others who have gone through similar events, as well as having a devoted space to vent and process their graduate school experience. 

Thursdays from 5:00-6:30PM. Email Tinh or Beth with questions.

Overcoming Obsessions and Countering Compulsions:
Managing OCD Symptoms

Living in the cycle of intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors can feel isolating, but you’re not alone. This weekly group brings together students who share an OCD diagnosis or struggle with intrusive thoughts/compulsive actions to support one another and work toward improving difficult symptoms. Together with a small group of peers, you’ll explore practical tools, reflect on your progress, and work through challenges using proven treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). With encouragement and tailored guidance, you’ll gain the skills and confidence to make meaningful changes beyond group.

Prior diagnosis of OCD is not necessary to join. Interested participants who do not have an OCD diagnosis are encouraged to schedule a screening to assess whether their concerns would be a good match for the group. Open to new and returning members. 

Thursdays from 3:45-5:00PM. Questions? Email Cody or Hannah

Get More Out of Life (Part of the Well-Being Adventure Series)

In partnership with Adventure WV and as part of the Well-Being Adventure Series, group members will learn tools from both positive psychotherapy and therapeutic adventure to increase their well-being. Group members will be supported to develop their strengths, practice more gratitude, interact more constructively with friends and loved ones, get more enjoyment out of their daily activities, and feel more optimistic about their future. These goals will be achieved through members participation in ecotherapy, ongoing celebration of one another’s strengths during problem-based group development, and processing with each other their unique experiences utilizing the tools they acquire during sessions and in integrative activities assigned between meetings each week. The group experience will culminate with an outdoor experience such as backpacking, aerial adventure and camping, or paddling. Mondays from 4:00-5:30PM. Email Chris or Cody with questions.

Unmasked: ADHD and Autism Support Group

This group will offer a safe space for students with ADHD and autism to share their experiences, frustrations, and joys of being a neurodivergent person living in a world designed for neurotypical people. In this space, students can feel free to be their true selves, explore what it means to “unmask”, and speak honestly in a group of peers who understand the neurodivergent experience. The group will be led by two neurodivergent therapists who get it and who can also provide tips and tricks to help navigate college and the world in general with a neurodivergent brain. The group will also incorporate interpersonal processing – opportunities to reflect on communication and relationship patterns, provide and receive feedback, and practice different ways of relating in the group space. No official diagnosis is required. Thursdays from 5:30-6:45PM. Questions? Email Megan or Ashley

Managing Your Emotions

This group aims to teach you to manage your emotions through skills like mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation. This group may be helpful if you tend to experience strong emotions, frequent changes in mood, and difficulty managing the stress of daily life. You will learn how to use helpful coping skills, gain insight into your emotions, and improve relationships through better communication skills. Wednesdays, 4:00-5:00 PM. Questions? Email Brie or Emma

Men's Support Group

Many men do not receive enough support in facing mental health challenges in their lives due to social stigma and masculine norms. This group will provide this much-needed supportive and shame-free space for students identifying as men to connect with each other and discuss issues related to mental and emotional health. As a group, we will strive to cultivate vulnerability, self-awareness, compassion, and courage to help each other become the men we want to be.  Topics of discussion will vary but may include relationships, intimacy, anger, substance use, body image, and self-esteem. 
Mondays, 5:30-7:00PM. Email Adam or Joshua with questions.
