The College Adult Peer Support Group is for those who are enrolled in college or higher education. The goal of this group is to provide encouragement and support, problem solve, and cope with college life in more efficient and effective ways.
This virtual platform is designed for mutual acceptance, understanding, compassion and self-discovery for those living similar daily experiences from across the Southeast. You don’t have to have all of the answers, as none of us do. However, we believe that together, we have the support and resources needed to face each challenge.
Each support group will meet once a month, on the 3rd Wednesday of the month, for 12 months. The support groups will be moderated by Heather Simpson, OTD, MOT, OTR/L & Jana Unislawski.
These support groups are available for people who may be located in an underserved area without access to support. The only equipment you will need to participate is an internet connection and a working microphone on your computer or smartphone. Web cam is optional, but ideal for increased engagement.
