Support Group Offerings

Here is a list of some common support group offerings. All groups will be conducted online via Zoom. Please check the ones that interest you. If your interest is not listed, please write it in the space provided. (Please complete contact information so that we can reach out to you to schedule an appointment.) Registration and a pre-group meeting are required for participation in a support group, and students may participate in more than one group.

COVID-19/2020 Support Group: Tuesdays, 1:00 – 2:00pm Group leaders Daniya Nixon and Courtland Douglas provide therapeutic support for students to process and help each other cope during these difficult times.

Relationship Group: Tuesdays, 2:30 – 3:30pm In a time of quarantine and isolation, establishing and maintaining connections with others is more vital than ever. If you find yourself struggling to connect with friends, family, and partners, this is the group for you. Group leaders Jay Coughlin and Jacqueline Cohen explore your personal interactions with others in a small, safe setting.

Career Links Support Group: Wednesdays, 12:00 – 1:00pm Group leader Kassy Hargadon-Zester leads a group open to HCC single parents who are part of the Career Links Program. It provides a safe space to meet other students and discuss all the feelings associated with balancing so many responsibilities (parenting, school, supervising children's remote learning, work, maintaining a household, dealing with co-parenting relationships).

Women of Color Support Group: Wednesdays, 1:00 – 2:00pm Group leaders Joy Stephens and Aysha DeSilva provide a warm and inviting space for students to explore their thoughts and feelings. Identity is at the core of discussions, including intersections between race, gender, and ethnicity.
