Take a break from the block get creative and reflect on care. This workshop focuses on thinking about how we care for ourselves and others. Using block printing, collage, and photos we will create cards of care. You can send these cards to others or keep them as daily affirmations for your own space.

Ready To Go Programs
Peer Support is a nonjudgmental and accepting space where students support other students. Students can discuss issues and anxieties with other students, learn about campus resources, and learn strategies for maintaining their personal well-being and engaging in self-care. No one understands the block plan stressors better than someone living through it, so come in and talk to someone that can understand.
Some of the topics our Peer Support team can help you with include healthy sexuality, harm reduction approaches, integrating mindfulness practices, stress management skills, sleep habits, interpersonal disputes, minor health and hygiene concerns, and body acceptance.
Peer Support is not crisis intervention and cannot replace necessary counseling or medical services. Peer Support talks students through difficult topics while maintaining privacy and respect.
To use Peer Support you can visit us during Walk-in Hours!
Throughout the semester, there will be walk-in Peer Support available in the Wellness Resource Center in Yalich 230. Walk-in hours are available on the following days and times:
Mondays: 12:00-2:00 pm
Friday: 12:00-2:00 pm
Not available during forth week.

- Participants will understand personal barriers to bystander intervention and techniques to overcome them, including the role that factors of identity (i.e. sexual orientations, race, gender identity, etc.) play.
