Topic Groups
Topic based groups bring students together who are going through or have gone through similar experiences and share common ground. Sharing a common experience related to identity, trauma, transition etc. helps members focus on a more specific life area/concern and provides students with peer support and understanding. Topic groups are facilitated by a Counseling Services provider.
