Drop-in counselling sessions to address racist oppression

In response to incidents this year involving systemic racism, oppression, discrimination, and threats to Black and BIPOC psychological well-being, the Student Counselling Centre has added a new drop-in session called “Racialized Voices Gather Together” as a safe space for students to listen, to support one another, and to begin to heal.

The group is available to all University of Windsor students and will convene online Mondays and Wednesdays, starting today — Dec. 9.

Staff present to facilitate this process will include a Black therapist and another allied therapist from the Student Counselling Centre.

The new drop-in group will add to the existing virtual drop-in support groups offered every week, including “COVID Cares Conversations” on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and an “LGBTQ+ Drop-In Group” every Tuesday and Thursday.
