Spotlight: CAPS Support Groups
Our Counseling and Psychological Services (or CAPS) programs are super useful for students. They offer lots of different focus groups that help students in many different ways. Let’s check out what support groups CAPS is offering for Spring 25.
Body Positivity Pathways
Mondays @ 3 PM at the CAPS Building
This group provides a safe, supportive space where individuals can explore and embrace their unique bodies, free from judgment. Through open discussion, self-compassion exercises, and empowerment practices, we work together to challenge societal standards and build a healthier relationship with our bodies. Every journey is respected, and together, we celebrate self-love, growth, and acceptance. Please email [email protected] to register for this group.
Common Thread: LGBTQIA+ Support Group
Mondays @ 5 PM at the CAPS Building
A weekly support group designed to provide a safe and confidential space for SSU students who have lived experience within the wide spectrum of the LGBTQIA+ community.
