Groups Held by Counseling Center
Heart Math
Heart Math is used by tens of thousands of students around the world. EmWave and Inner Balance trainers help students quickly gain the self-regulation skills needed for their mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing, and their academic success. Students who practice with the emWave self-regulation technology gain several key benefits, including improved academic focus, impulse control, emotional resilience, and improved attitudes and behavior. All are keys to helping students become more resilience and perform at their optimum level.
Wandering Wednesdays
Wandering Wednesdays brings students together with their peers to learn more about themselves and others using experiential activities such as mindfulness, art therapy, and gardening. Groups are intended to increase social connection, lower symptoms of anxiety and depression, and increase student awareness of mental health resources.
