Athlete Drop-In Group

  • Meets in person: Schedule TBA
  • PE41k – PE Complex

This is a supportive space where athletes can meet with a MHWC therapist to discuss if therapy is right for them.  All student athletes are welcome. No appointment is needed. 

This space is not meant to provide therapy services, but introduce the process to athletes who may benefit from seeing a therapist on campus. Private individual support is not guaranteed and depends on how many students join, as well as how many counselors are participating.



LGBTQ+ Group

  • Meets in person: Schedule TBA
  • Pride Center: Library 138

Come together to explore and discuss your identities in a safe and welcoming and confidential environment.

  • Academic stress
