Counseling Center Groups

Fall 2020

Online Support Groups: TBD

Fem Sex Group

Due to COVID-19 and CDC guidelines, FemSex will not be meeting this fall. Look for us in Spring 2021!

FemSex is a semester long, weekly, non-credit workshop.  Though the workshop is designed around the experiences of people who identify as women or who have identified as women at some point, all are welcome.

FemSex creates a safe space that encourages students to learn about their bodies, explore sexuality & relationships, and expand their understanding of social and cultural influence and diversity.  Topics will include: body image, gender identity, safe sex/reproductive choice, sex & sexuality, communication & consent, partnership & relationship. Contact Kate Emmerich for more information: emmerich@etsu.edu

Understanding Self & Others 

Group will not be meeting while university courses are online (to reduce gatherings of students on campus).

This group will provide a safe space for personal growth opportunities for students to engage in giving and receiving support, empathy, and feedback to help make desired changes, gain insight, explore meaning in your life and gain a better sense of self. Concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem, body image, feeling distant from others, trauma history or grief will be explored in this process group. Discover you are not alone in the difficulties you experience.
