Grief & Loss: Experiencing grief associated with loss is not just difficult but also confusing. Is my grief normal? How am I supposed to handle it? What do I say to someone who is sad? And because grief is so individual, let’s explore how to function through it without worrying about ‘how to’s.’
All sessions will be taught by Counseling Center staff and offered from Noon – 1:00 p.m. in the Potter Hall conference room, 408.
Please B.Y.O.L. – Bring Your Own Lunch
We encourage you to attend, learn new skills, and gain knowledge.
Sessions are open to anyone in the university community – Students, Faculty, and Staff.
ALL sessions will be given Well-U credit (for students enrolled in the program)!

This group is a supportive environment for members of the LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, and asexual or allied) community to develop deeper self-awareness, explore ways to maximize their WKU experience. This group discussion may include topics such as: coming out, family, relationships, wellness, etc.
The group meets weekly to socialize, to celebrate identities, and to provide feedback and support to those who may be struggling with hardships unique to being LGBTQ. Group lasts about 1 hour.
Typically, it is facilitated by a WKU CC Staff, although for Spring 2020 semester may be peer led at times. This is not a therapy or counseling group. Hard topics may be discussed and advice requested; however, the leader reserves the right to suggest members attend individual counseling (if it’s clear further processing and individual attention is needed).
