Free Outreach Workshops Are Still Available From the Counseling Center

November 12, 2020
The Counseling Center is continuing to offer several opportunities for free outreach workshops that are available to all Ball State students who are currently residing in Indiana. These programs are not therapy, but do provide psycho-education and skill building resources that can assist in building resiliency and improving your ability to cope with stressful situations. Workshops will be available throughout the fall semester and will meet for 1 hour each week. In order to participate in these groups, you MUST SIGN UP so that you will receive the WebEx/Zoom invitation to attend the programs. You may sign-up for one, or more, of our programs using the following link: https://bsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bHrBV2BXwW7iFpz.

In addition to these workshops, the Counseling Center is now offering a new online support group entitled “Voices: Race & Ethnicity Support Group” that offers a safe space for students of color on campus to come together, share their experiences, and find ways to cope while offering support to others. This group will meet from 3:00-4:00PM every other Thursday and will be led by persons of color. The next session will take place on Thursday, November 19, 2020. If you are interested in attending this group, please SIGN UP here: https://bsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bHrBV2BXwW7iFpz.

Lastly, the Counseling Center is continuing to offer our 4-week Self-Care Challenge email program throughout the remainder of the fall semester. As we are nearing the end of the semester, this 4-week challenge could be a great way for you to intentionally participate in much needed self-care. This challenge provides students with several different options for activities to complete each week in order to practice positive self-care, manage daily stressors, and build healthy coping skills. Each student will receive a PDF version of a resiliency skills training workbook that provides detailed information about each of the activity options for each week of the challenge. The challenge will last for 4 weeks; however, we hope that students will continue to utilize the workbook and the activities therein beyond the scope of our program. This program is open to ALL Ball State students, but you MUST SIGN UP.

If you are interested in any of these programs, remember to SIGN UP at: https://bsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bHrBV2BXwW7iFpz. If you have questions about our programming, feel free to contact us at CounselCTR@bsu.edu.
