Grief as a Survivor: Holding Space for the Hard Stuff 

Grief shows up in so many ways—through triggers, transitions, and even in the moments we thought we were “doing okay.” This class is a space to discuss what it means to grieve as a survivor. We must explore the kind of grief that doesn’t consistently get named and the permission we don’t always give ourselves to feel it.
We’ll explore what it means to work with our experiences instead of fighting them, what real resilience feels like, and the difference between being met with empathy and being pitied. This isn’t about fixing—it’s about feeling, connecting, and building something softer together. Includes a 30-minute Q&A to hold space for what comes up.
 
This space is for graduate students, staff and faculty who need room to breathe, reflect, and be held.

Dating for Survivors: Finding Your Way Back to You

Dating after trauma isn’t simple—and you’re not alone in that. This class is a space to talk about what healthy connection can look like, how to notice your needs, and how to show up for yourself in the process. We’ll talk identity, boundaries, healing, and what it means to feel safe again—in your body and in relationships.

Includes a 30-minute Q&A to hold space for what comes up.

This space is for undergraduate and graduate students.
