'Survivor Solidarity Hour' at The Wellness Resource Center
12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The Wellness Resource Center presents "Survivor Solidarity Hour" at The Well's Recovery Clubhouse. Survivor Solidarity Hour is a weekly, year-round program, held every Tuesday, where survivors of violence and allies can come together, meet and hang out in a safe space. This is not a therapeutic group but rather a causal, supportive space. Students can engage in activities from coloring, to playing games, to engaging in conversation.
