The Bhakti Yoga Club is committed to creating a stress-relieving and welcoming environment. Free vegan treats will be provided to session participants.

Carolina Recovery: Weekly Process Group
2024-09-30 17:00 - 18:00 | Student Wellness, 385 Manning Dr SASB S, 1310, Chapel Hill
This is a mutual-support group facilitated by Student Wellness staff for students in, seeking, or curious about recovery. Please reach out here or email recovery@unc.edu if you're interested in joining or want to ask about other substance use resources!

The support group goals are the following:

Community support: Helping students foster peer support networks; presenting safe and attainable space for students to be honest with themselves and others about struggles and achievements; prioritizing facilitation over leading the group (students become leading participants); reminding students to look for similarities across seemingly different lived experiences. Focus on diversifying and making recovery spaces as inclusive as possible through an intersectional lens.

Recovery capital: Acknowledging students' skills and strengths; discussing and specifying goals and areas of improvement; planning actionable objectives; and recognizing the value of being where our feet are now. Each month, we will incorporate skills for managing stress and triggers and clarify student values that may positively impact recovery.

Empowerment: Encouraging students to share their experiences and utilize their agency for recovery, academics, interpersonal relationships, and the other eight dimensions of wellness. Prioritizing strategies to build students’ resiliency through topics and themes they can apply throughout adulthood.

**Please note that this space is exclusively for people in or seeking recovery and is NOT open to observers or for educational purposes.

Design It For Us Campus Tour
2024-09-24 19:30 - 20:30
We’re the guinea pigs: the generation that grew up on social media. It’s had profound impacts on our lives, in positive and negative ways. Now it’s time to ask ourselves what’s working about our digital experiences and what isn’t. Design It For Us — a coalition of youth activists — is traveling the country on a campus tour to speak to and meet with college students. They are offering students the opportunity to address the human and shared experiences of growing up entirely on social media and create conversations in their college communities to think critically about these technologies and their lasting impact. Design It For Us is then looking to create opportunities from these conversations for young people to join the growing movement of youth activists speaking about their lived experiences on social media.
