Being @ CMU:
A Semester-End Student Support GroupTuesday evenings, 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.
April 9, 16, 23, & 30, 2013
Danforth Lounge, U.C.
CAPS is sponsoring an end-of-semester weekly support group for students who would like a place to talk with other students about their experiences and struggles being at CMU. The process will be facilitated by staff from CAPS, with an emphasis on voicing shared difficulties and providing support for one another.
Membership in the group is available on a first-come basis. No commitment is required—you can attend one or more meetings, as you like. There’s no need to register; just show up (though be aware that the doors will be closed 10 minutes after the group’s start time to minimize disruption). The format will be open. Participants will be asked to respect the privacy of the other group members.
If you have questions, please contact Kurt Kumler, Ph.D., at 412-268-2922 or kkumler@cmu.edu.
