Families with Addiction This group is for students who are or have been deeply affected by having parent(s) or sibling(s) struggling with addictions. May also consider situations where the family member's primary issue is a severe psychiatric disorder, but that substance use is also present. To join this group therapy session, please call SHaW at 860-486-4700 (tel:+18604864705) This session is held by Sarah Hallwood, LCSW, LICSW (https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/person/sarah-hallwood/) For many concerns that students face – like overwhelming stress, anxiety, difficult relationships, depression, academic difficulties, and more – group therapy is the best option for support and healing. Facilitated by Student Health and Wellness (SHaW) counselors, our therapy groups encourage peer support, promote emotional wellbeing, and increase a felt sense of connection. Participants often find that they feel less alone in their struggles, and walk away with newfound support and ideas for coping.

Unbreakable: Rising from within: Women's Trauma Group Unbreakable: Rising from Within is a therapy group for women who have experienced traumatic events or relationships who are ready to take back their lives. Traumatic experiences or relationships often lead us to develop unhealthy coping strategies such as, social isolation/anxiety, quickly jumping into unhealthy relationships, difficulty with trusting and enforcing our boundaries when we need them most or increased alcohol, cannabis, or other drug use. Unbreakable: Rising from Within provides a supportive and confidential environment for students to begin the healing process by learning about common reactions to trauma and ways to recognize and overcome these potentially debilitating triggers. We will work to remind ourselves of the importance of boundaries, increase self-confidence and learn and practice healthier coping strategies to promote overall health and wellbeing.To join this group therapy session, please call SHaW at 860-486-4700 (tel:+18604864705) This session is held by Cassaundra Popek, LMFT (https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/person/cassaundra-popek-lmft/) For many concerns that students face – like overwhelming stress, anxiety, difficult relationships, depression, academic difficulties, and more – group therapy is the best option for support and healing.

The Human Side of Plant Health   At the forefront of plant disease surveillance and management are extension professionals and plant diagnosticians, with the National Plant Diagnostic Network (NPDN) serving as a cornerstone of these efforts. As both endemic and emerging plant diseases spread at unprecedented rates, it is increasingly critical to identify strategies that strengthen and expand existing diagnostic and reporting systems. This work addresses these challenges through a needs assessment of the Northeast Plant Diagnostic Network (NEPDN) and an exploration of citizen science as a complementary approach to enhance plant disease monitoring, strengthen diagnostic capacity, and advance national plant biosecurity efforts.

An All Recovery meeting is 'non-denominational' meaning all pathways of recovery are embraced here. A universal recovery topic is chosen and then the group discusses it. It is not affiliated with any "Anonymous" program although you are likely to hear comments associated with 12 step fellowships. Meetings are facilitated by a student member of the URC with support from a Recovery Coach and are held both in-person and online for students from other UConn campuses.

Cat Hobaiter is a field primatologist who has spent the past 20-years studying wild primates across Africa. She is a Professor in Origins of Mind at the University of St Andrews where she leads the Wild Minds Lab. The main focus of her research is the communication and cognition of wild apes. Through long-term field studies she explores what the behaviour of modern apes living in their natural environment tells us about their minds, as well as about the evolutionary origins of our own behaviour. She is the director of three long-term chimpanzee field-sites in Uganda and Guinea. Storytelling apes: ape gesture and the evolution of human languageAbstract: Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin. Three years ago, I was on a remote expedition with a small group of people with whom I had essentially no language in common. Over the weeks we found built huts, mapped the area, cooked, ate, and laughed together. We started to swap a few phrases, but most of our daily life was managed without language. A long list of human behaviours has been proposed as the reason we have language. But decades of research with other apes have shown us that 1) they have rich systems of flexible, intentional, meaningful, communication, and also that 2) apes and other species do not need language to learn from each other, to organise where and when to forage, to learn cultural knowledge about tools and songs, to co-ordinate hunting, or navigate social politics. It starts to look like human language didn't evolve for anything useful. But could we simply have been looking in the wrong place? Ten years ago, anthropologist Polly Wiessner made the provocative suggestion that fire was the fundamental driver of human social behaviour. While the day-to-day conversations of the forager peoples she worked with were about mundane practicalities and gossip, fireside conversations are different: they are used for telling stories. I will review what we have learned about other apes' rich systems of communication so far, and ask—at the end of the day—are we the storytelling ape?

UConn Collegium: Soul of Rome – Palestrina at 500   Born five hundred years ago this year, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina composed music that has been studied and emulated by composers and theorists for over four hundred years due the remarkably consistent quality of its counterpoint. Yet Palestrina's music is not rigid in its consistency and is always expressive. A persistent but unlikely story relates that a performance of his most famous work, the Missa Papae Marcelli, convinced the Council of Trent not to ban polyphony from the Catholic liturgy. Despite this legendary status, even classically trained musicians know few works by him beyond what they hear in surveys of music history. Our concert explores Palestrina's compositional methods, reputation, and style to reveal why for many his music continues to exemplify the soul of Rome.
