Student Counseling Services is committed to serving the mental health needs of the PVAMU campus community. Some of the highlights of the Spring 2022 semester include the following:
- The ever popular Sister to Sister Group, which took place in the Women’s Center, continued to be an avenue where women shared their developmental questions, challenges, and dreams in a confidential space where only women can appreciate. This group will continue to meet every Fall and Spring semester on Tuesdays at 5:30pm.
- The newly-developed Young Adult Recovery Support Group was a 12-step group for students who had issues with alcohol and drug abuse. Although this group met virtually this Spring semester, plans are in place for a face-to-face group in the Fall of 2022.
- The Women’s Basketball Group that was led by Dr. Duncan. This group focused on visualization, self-confidence, and positivity.
- Lastly, the De-stress Fest, which was a campus-wide event that focused on stress management in a variety of ways, garnered many accolades by the campus community. It included relaxation and yoga exercises, tug-of-war, musical chairs, water gun fight, basketball, line dancing, chef’s table, and other activities that aided students in unwinding before exams. The activity took place in the Student Park and in the Recreation Center.
Student Counseling Services wishes everyone a calm mind during this break and a relaxing summer. Remember, COVID is still out there so be safe!
