PEER: Promoting Education & Emotional Resilience
Program for Students with Mental Health Conditions –
PEER Program signups are now open for the Spring 2023 semester! The PEER (Promoting Education & Emotional Resilience) Program seeks to empower students to learn about their mental health, develop positive coping skills, and work through navigating challenging barriers.
This 6-week workshop will help students develop resiliency skills utilizing techniques derived from evidenced-based practices such at Mindfulness, ACT, Executive Function building, CBT, Emotion Regulation with DBT, and Resiliency training in collaboration with the RCPD and Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS). PEER participants will also have a dedicated practical application support group for deeper discussion and community building.
For the Spring 2023 semester, the program will run January 17th through February 22nd. Participants are expected to commit to both workshops and support groups for the 6-week duration of the program (a 2-hour weekly commitment). Weekly meetings will be held:
Psychoeducation Workshops: Tuesdays from 3:00pm - 4:00pm
Support Groups: Wednesdays from 3:00pm - 4:00pm
Questions? Contact your RCPD Specialist or program coordinator, Ellie Brigger: briggere@msu.edu.
ADHD Community Groups
Back by popular demand! Our ADHD Community Group starts up again next week! We will have two sessions: graduate and undergraduate. Our groups are informal and led by peer facilitators. This is a place for you to connect with peers through shared experiences, conversation, and advice. All who identify with the diagnosis of ADD/ADHD, and/or identify with the symptoms of ADD/ADHD are welcome to join. No medical documentation is required! Last semester, we covered topics like time management/organization, helpful tips, relationships, sleep, emotions, and more. The group will decide which topics to cover as the semester goes on!
Registration is limited. Please email Kelsey Foote (footeke1@msu.edu) and Jessica Lutz (lutzjes1@msu.edu) if you cannot register and would like to be placed on a waitlist. Here are the details:
Undergraduate ADHD group: Wednesdays 5-6pm starting NEXT Wednesday, 2/8/23!
