Upcoming Events
Movie Mondays
Mondays 01/31–04/17 | 4:00–5:30PM
Want to meet new people and connect by watching/discussing movies? Come watch with us Monday afternoons this semester! Prior experience is not required.
Why movies?- Connecting with characters, plots, and themes can have therapeutic properties.
- Discussing topics around a movie watched with peers can boost a sense of connection to others and help develop some interpersonal skills.
- Movies can be a great source of stress relief and can boost the release of endorphins, the body’s natural “feel good” chemicals.
- Movies and discussions around a movie take the pressure off of having to "come up" with topics while learning to connect with others.
Facilitators: Shinlay Rivera, PHD & Dylan Harrell, PHD
Tabletop Tuesdays
Tuesdays 01/24–04/18 | 4:00–5:30PM
Want to meet new people and connect by playing some board games? Come join us around the table on Tuesday afternoons this semester! Prior experience is not required.
Why board games?- Board games bring people together and encourage conversation and interaction while engaging in a shared activity!
- You can learn new skills! Some games require strategy, problem-solving, decision-making, team-building, and communication (and it’s not always through verbal communication!).
- Board games can be a great source of stress relief and can boost the release of endorphins, the body’s natural “feel good” chemicals.
- Board games can also enhance creativity and build upon your self-confidence.
Facilitators: Shinlay Rivera, PHD & Dylan Harrell, PHD
