THE LOCKER ROOM
The Locker Room is a free and confidential group for men only. The group is guided by Stan Watkins, MSW and student members.
It is a great opportunity to make friends and express yourself. Additionally, the group provides you with the ability to de-stress/vent about what is going on in your life and to receive feedback and advice from your peers and a counselor.
​
Meetings take place on Thursdays from 4-5pm in the Haas Library. No sign up is required for meetings. For more information call 203-837-8898.

WOMEN'S RECOVERY GROUP
This meeting is designed for women in recovery from alcoholism, drug addiction, eating disorders​, and other addictive or self-destructive behaviors.
In these weekly meetings we will discuss various coping skills, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, the 12-Steps, and mediation.
Additionally, in these meetings we will plan group activities like hiking, bowling, or volunteer work. Being active and supporting others through service is an essential part of recovery.
​
This group is not a substitute for counseling. However, it is a great supplement to regular therapy and counseling. Working with other women who have been in recovery for a while or share in the struggle can be incredibly helpful and inspiring.
