Stone Center Counseling Service Groups & Workshops
Making connections with others can be great for feeling less isolated and more supported.
This year we are offering small in person groups, 4-5 students, in spaces where we can accommodate everyone safely, while masked. We will also offer some workshops and groups over zoom.
Feel free to reach out to the group contact people if you are interested or have an idea for a peer support group.
Check out the Counseling Service information table at Sophomore Reorientation on Thursday September 30th, 12:00-2:00 pm in Tishman Commons.
Meet some of our staff and pick up some red class trinkets. Ask us any questions about our services, groups, and workshops.
Hope to see you there!

This group is open to students of all intersectional identities under the LGBTQ+ umbrella. It is intended to be a confidential, safe space to receive and give emotional support around gender and sexuality. Together we will explore topics such as relationships with family, partners, coming out or being out, and help you embrace all parts of who you are. If it is challenging to be who you are when away from Wellesley, this might be the right space to connect with others to strategize ways of coping.
