Support Groups
LGBTQI+
Many LGBTQI+ individuals experience negative mental health issues due to the prejudice and other biases they face, even the act of coming out is surrounded by fear for many. In fact, research suggests that queer people experience mental health conditions at a rate almost 3 times higher than the general population.
Without mental health we cannot be healthy. It is our hope that LGBTQI+ individuals find this support group to be a safe outlet for them to discuss these challenges and find a sense of community online. We want LGBTQI+ students at Tech to not just make it through their time here, but to flourish.
This group is open to anyone who identifies anywhere on the LGBTQI+ spectrum, including those who don鈥檛 know what that means for them! All students are welcome to come and be accepted as themselves.
For info about this group, please email cmick@tntech.edu.
Adulting 1010
A safe space to talk about stress when it comes to "the real world."

Facilitated by Tessa Benefield, LPC/MHSP and Ben Higgins, LPC/MHSP. Please email tbenefield@tntech.edu or bhiggins@tntech.edu for more information and prior to attending this group!
