The Student Counselling Centre is offering weekly virtual drop-in support groups for UWindsor students to help empower students and foster resilience.

Drop-in groups are available via Zoom and sessions include:

• Racialized Voices Gather Together, a safe space for BIPOC students to listen and to support one another.
• COVID Care Conversations, where students get support from each other and learn skills to manage the difficulties caused by COVID-19.
• LGBTQ+ Drop-In Group, a safe outlet to discuss unique challenges for individuals in the LGBTQ+ community, and to find a sense of support among the other group members.

All sessions are facilitated by professional counsellors to provide an opportunity for students to learn, share, and connect in a safe and confidential space.

In addition to the drop-in groups, the Student Counselling Centre remains open for virtual appointments, wellness groups are hosted regularly, and there is a webpage listing tools and resources staff and faculty can use to support students and incorporate mental health and wellness information into their programming.
