Transitions: A Support Group for Graduating Students
Graduation can be exciting...and a little scary.
While graduation can be an exciting experience, transitioning from
undergraduate or graduate coursework to the next phase of life can also be
challenging. Engaging in the world of work, moving away from friends and
family, and rediscovering a sense of self away from academia are only some
things that graduating students face as the semester winds down. RIH's
Transitions support group creates a space for those moving on from UMBC to
share their anxiety, sadness, and joy while learning skills to support mental
well-being as they continue their life's journey.
This group meets virtually on Mondays from 12 - 1 p.m. beginning February 26.
Due to licensure laws, all students must be located in the state of Maryland during the group to participate.
The first step to joining any group is to complete an Initial Consultation appointment. Please call us at 410-455-2542 or visit the RetrieverCare portal to schedule.
For general group questions, or if you need accommodations for a disability, please send a secure message to our Group Coordinator, Lauren Mirzakhalili, LCSW-C, via the patient portal at least one week prior to the start of group and RIH will arrange for services.
All RIH services are LGBTQIA2S+ friendly and are welcoming to all diverse populations.
