Conversation Hour

Join Counseling Service in collaboration with other offices of the Vassar community to engage in monthly conversations on specific or general topics. This is a space where students can share, empower, and support each other. If interested please contact the respective offices below for more information.

Please note: These are not counseling or therapy groups. As a support space, it provides an opportunity for participants to support each other as peers by sharing personal experiences and ideas. When clinical needs arise, participants might be referred to VCCS or other resources for further support.

All conversation hours will be offered in person or on a secure video platform, and will be determined by VCCS Staff and campus partners as appropriate.

Survivor Community Space

Survivor Community Space is a three part series where survivors can build connections and receive non-therapeutic support while engaging in healing-centered wellness activities. We define survivors as anyone who has experienced sexual violence, assault, harassment, stalking, relationship abuse, or another form of interpersonal violence.
