In-Person Support Circles
Ever feel like you’re the only one going through something? Join a Support Circle, which brings students together around a theme to express, connect, empower and build community. Guided by peers and group facilitators, themes include stress & overwhelm, social anxiety, isolation and loneliness, healthy relationships, and inner strengths and resilience. All are welcome.
Watch a segment about Support Circles that aired on LaGuardia’s radio station, WLGR.
Check the Events page for scheduled Support Circles.
