Did you begin a new professional role on campus during the pandemic? Starting a new employment position while working remotely, acclimating to a new university and city, or experiencing social isolation are some challenges that new employees have encountered during these times.  We hope to create the space to develop new professional connections as a way to expand your social support network and promote your psychological well-being.

This confidential drop-in therapy group will meet once a month, between March 31 to May 19. Members are welcome to attend any of the sessions, depending on their preference.
