Strengthening Our Community

​​

Strengthening Our Community is a manualized self-help program aimed to help students of color adjusts to a predominantly White institution of higher education. Strengthening Our Community draws from prominent theories found in the areas of student development, cultural development and mental health. The overarching goal of Strengthening Our Community is to develop a safe place where students of color will develop feelings of belonging and connection with other students of color, while also building the capacity to regulate their emotions and advocate for themselves.

​

Strengthening Our Community consist of 2 stand-alone workshops, Building Our Self Up and Strengthening Our Self. Supplemental to these two workshops is the program, Advocating from My Self.

 

  • Building Our Self Up - In this workshop, students learn the skills needed to recognize and regulate their own emotional responses when triggered by acts of hate and discrimination.

  • Strengthening Our Self - In this workshop, students gain insight into the impact historical trauma and develop more complex racial worldviews.

  • Advocating From My Self - In this workshop, students are taught a set of skills that’ll help them advocate for themselves as well as other students of color.
