Anteaters for Recovery (Support Group) @ Student Center, G319 Conference Room
Oct 30 @ 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm

Anteaters for Recovery is a new support group program at UCI intended for students who identify as being in recovery. Whether it’s recovery from alcoholism, drug addiction, eating disorders, growing up in an alcoholic family, or any other life-altering situation, you’re not alone. Join us in this safe and confidential space where we share, listen, support, and uplift each other. Our meetings are led by a pro-staff member also in recovery.

Anteaters for Recovery is not therapy or group counseling, but rather a support system where you can heal, grow, and thrive with others.

Meetings will take place in the Conference Room of G319 Student Center, here at the Center for Student Wellness and Health Promotion.

Mindful Mondays @ Meet Outside Zot n' Go
Oct 30 @ 4:00 pm – 4:30 pm

No previous experience necessary and great for beginners. Participants will receive an essential oil roller to carry their mindfulness practice with them wherever they are.
