A New Year for Body Positivity
As a woman of color, immigrant, child of immigrants and multilingual social worker, I tend to see the world through a unique lens. My minority identities afford me a superpower of always finding and feeling the gaps in systems in which I live. I often feel pulled to create space for myself and others who don’t always feel included.

Take the 20/20 Reading Challenge
So much has changed since we first posted our 2020 challenge in January -- but with half of the year to go, it seems even more important to us. If you're looking for readings to help you understanding racism and anti-racism, here are 5 we recommend (most, but not all, are by women of color):

Absorb. Honor. Attend.
We can’t currently invite you to seek support at the Women’s Center in our usual ways. But our commitment to supporting the University community stands and moves us to offer what support and guidance we can.
Are we (halfway) there yet?
In my courses, the exam is the map out of the forest. And this year, that matters even more so than ever before.

Sexual Assault Survivor Support Group

Survivors of sexual assault are invited to join this group for peer support and discussion of skills and strategies that aid in healing from a traumatic event.
We will meet on Fridays for 6 weeks, September 25 through October 30.
Please email Cathy Erickson if you are interested in participating. Because this group is support-based and not a therapy group, it is open to UVA students living in Virginia and in other states.

Wellness & Connection Group
October 02, 2020
Wellness & Connection in the Time of COVID
These are unprecedented and uncertain times for college students. Just about everything is different and uncertain right now. Academic life has changed…social life has changed…and even strategies for wellness have had to adjust to the COVID ‘normal’.
Come together with other students to talk about what’s hard, what’s different, and what helps. You'll focus on sharing and supporting each other with some discussion of skills and strategies for improving wellness, too.
