Attention all SFU undergrad and grad students! SFPIRG is here to support you!

Are you dealing with racism, sexism, or other oppressive/problematic content in the course of your work, organising, or studies? Are you looking for a confidential and supportive space? Are you looking for community with folks who also care about social justice? Come and help us build a sanctuary space for you and your fellow students.

Join SFPIRG for our 2022 Care-based Office Hours series for SFU undergrad and grad students! Release, Reset, and Restore will take place on Thursday from 1:30 to 3pm, starting on September 29, 2022. The last session will be on November 24. Sessions will alternate between in-person and on-line sessions to meet the needs of our community members.

Content of these sessions will be flexible to the needs of those gathered that day but may include mindfulness activities, sharing circles, artistic practice, collective journaling, or sharing resources for those who need further support and guidance.

Please note that these are group support sessions, and so conversations may take place of a sensitive or challenging nature. In order to support a safer environment for all, we ask participants to be respectful, considerate, and compassionate throughout all sessions. Participants who are harassing, discriminating against, or deliberately harming others will be removed from the room.

We look forward to connecting with you!
