This discussion-based workshop is for White and non-Black students of color to discuss active, tangible ways they can support the Black community. Students will discuss how to cultivate anti-racist attitudes, skills, and behaviors.

Our thoughts often impact our emotions and behaviors, so it can be helpful to learn when we are having unhelpful thoughts and learn how to cope with them. This workshop is designed to help you do just that!

This is a White therapist-led discussion-based workshop series for White-identified students to explore what it means to be White. Students will be supported as they examine ways they have benefitted from white privilege, and discuss common concerns and challenges that come along with becoming anti-racist.

• February 23rd at 6pm
