Support Groups

LGBTQI+

Many LGBTQI+ individuals experience negative mental health issues due to the prejudice and other biases they face, even the act of coming out is surrounded by fear for many. In fact, research suggests that queer people experience mental health conditions at a rate almost 3 times higher than the general population.

Without mental health we cannot be healthy. It is our hope that LGBTQI+ individuals find this support group to be a safe outlet for them to discuss these challenges and find a sense of community online. We want LGBTQI+ students at Tech to not just make it through their time here, but to flourish.

This group is open to anyone who identifies anywhere on the LGBTQI+ spectrum, including those who don’t know what that means for them! All students are welcome to come and be accepted as themselves.

For info about this group, please email cmick@tntech.edu.

Trauma Recovery Group

Are you struggling to work through unresolved trauma? Join our trauma recovery group to learn about the different ways trauma can affect us, develop techniques that may help in times of distress, as well as being a positive support for others who also struggle with the same experiences. This is a safe space. Contact Tessa Benefield at tbenefield@tntech.edu to join. All students are welcome! This group is Tuesdays beginning September 9th 3-4pm in RUC 387.
