Post Election: Moving Forward Together
2024-11-14 17:00 - 19:00
If the outcome was not what you hoped this time (or if you’ve been disappointed by previous elections), how are you processing that disappointment? How are you planning to move forward?

Once all the campaigning and voting is over, we are left to process the results and resulting transfer of power. While many believe we continue to grow even more divided, there has been a renewed commitment to seeking understanding and moving forward together as a nation. This conversation allows us to hold onto our shared humanity alongside our differences, and explore how we can build on our common ideals whether we feel as though we “won” or “lost” during the election.

This dialogue will be hosted in a living room style.

Our 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.
