Counselors Stacey Chen and Shirley Chen at LaGuardia Community College are hosting a weekly support group for Asian-American students. Asian-American Wellness Group aims to co-create a safe space where students can share how they’re feeling amidst the pandemic and connect with supportive others. Topics will be guided by student interests and may include emotional coping, mental health, family dynamics, impact on communities, and healing/empowerment as it relates to responding to racism and racial identity. Wednesdays 2:30pm-3:30pm starting Wednesday, March 17, 2021. RSVP to Stacey Chen at stchen@lagcc.cuny.edu.
