Mentoring cong Ganas
in class this week, MCG had its bi-weekly 1:1 time, where mentors and mentees can sit down with each other to discuss future goals, academic challenges, or any necessary steps to ensure a successful spring semester. Additionally, students also had the opportunity to stay in class and listen to valuable information/services the Counseling Center at UIC has to offer. This included workshops, mind-body programs, 24/7 crisis support, therapy best suitable for you (e.g. group, virtual, 1:1), and answers to frequently asked questions. Class wrapped up with a meaningful discussion about stressors in life, particularly on misinformation and social media use, and with handouts that taught students how to manage stress/anxiety. MCG will always emphasize the importance of providing a safe and supporting environment. If any student is in distress or seeking out help, check out the UIC Counseling Center website.
