Graduate Student Support Group

Mon, 16 Sep 2024 12:43:17 -0400

Pursuing a graduate degree/Ph.D. can be one of the most challenging phases in an individual's academic career. The road to earning the diploma can be long and lonely. The Graduate Student support group is composed of graduate/Ph.D. students who want to come together to share the challenges and struggles of their academic experience. The group will focus on discussing ways to balance school & personal life, relationships with advisers and peers, and how to deal with the stress and anxiety of academic pressures while defining and pursuing career goals.

This group meets virtually on Thursdays from 3 - 4:15 p.m. beginning September 26.

Due to licensure laws, all students must be located in the state of Maryland during the group to participate.

The first step to joining any group is to complete an Initial Consultation appointment. Please call us at 410-455-2542 or visit the RetrieverCare portal to schedule.

For general group questions, or if you need accommodations for a disability, please send a secure message to our Group Coordinator, Lauren Mirzakhalili, LCSW-C, via the patient portal at least one week prior to the start of group and RIH will arrange for services.

All RIH services are LGBTQIA2S+ friendly and are welcoming to all diverse populations.
