Finding Your People: Mentorship & Community

Tarah Townsell - Monday, October 12
 General   Events 

Happy Fall, fellow social work students!

We are hosting a student-led group on October 21st at 5:45 pm (PST)/ 6:45 pm (MST) virtually! We hope to connect LC students, specifically social work students, but ALL are WELCOME, together in community.

We received a lot of feedback from students about how they are feeling while trying to balance classes and life. The SOSW Club wanted to create a space where we can talk to each other and find some connection and support with one another, as students, peers, and future colleagues.

Some of us are on campus; some of us are remote students. This group will be open to any enrolled LCSC student, regardless of where you live.

Some of the topics that may be discussed include:

  • Navigating classes and mental health
  • Relationships
  • Identity
  • Future of the profession/college education & access
  • Sociopolitical stress
  • Balancing internship/school/life

Please complete this very brief survey to help us narrow down the focus topics!

This should be a safe and engaging space for us to connect and learn useful skills and tools to help us in the future. We hope to see you all there!
