Black
Student Safe Space
Facilitated by Black Clinicians, this group
is exclusively for Black students to be supported while
discussing the complexity of the Black experience. Students will be supported in their discussion and
processing the complexity of all facets that create their racial and
cultural identities and experiences, including racism, police brutality,
oppression, expectations, portrayals, and representations in media (both good
and bad), self-care, liberation, spirituality, self-expression, and celebration.
All Space participants are welcome and encouraged to be present in a manner
that is authentic for them in the moment.

Anti-Racist
Accountability Group
White Students who are interested in doing work
on furthering allyship and dismantling systemic oppression are welcome to
join the Anti-Racist Accountability Group. This Group will be held on a bi-weekly schedule for those
that identify as White and want to learn how to develop anti-racist skills and
hold themselves accountable in their ally development. This will include exploring how active
and "invisible" white privilege is in life, Anti-Racist actions to
engage in, and helping to hold each other accountable for maintaining active
Anti-Racist behaviors and mindsets as Allies. Self-care and support in developing a healthy personal identity also
included.
