Are you 18-25 years old, a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and an EKU student? You are invited to join a one-hour virtual focus group in April. Our research study goal is to get your perspective on the ways you experienced stigma in middle and high school. We also want to know about your ways of coping with LGBTQIA+ stigma and suggestions for making schools safer and more supportive for youth. Your information stays anonymous but your ideas will be shared with leaders and school administrators in an attempt to bring about change and awareness to how LGBTQIA+ individuals are treated in schools. Please add your voice to the narrative and sign up to join us! Participants earn a $10 gift card which you will receive via email link after the groups are concluded.

Join the EKU Counseling Center staff today for a workshop on Distress Tolerance. When life feels like you’re currently in the middle of an unfinished Jumanji game, your emotions can activate with a high degree of intensity. Changes in your daily routine and the people you’re around can lead to a mixture of emotions. These new experiences can be stressful. The tools provided in this workshop are aimed to provide you with skills to navigate these intense emotions and increase the positive experiences throughout your day.
