EmpowHER: Create Your Own Weighted Stuffed Animal

EmpowHER provides a safe space centered on the experiences of Black women and nonbinary students. Facilitated by CaPS therapists Patrice Anderson, LMHC-D, and Shantél Richardson, LMHC-D, each session uses creative activities and open dialogue to offer space to be seen, heard, and empowered.

During this session of EmpowHER, join us to learn practical coping skills while creating your own personalized weighted stuffed animal for comfort and grounding. Through creativity, sensory tools, and simple stress-reduction techniques, you’ll leave with a cuddly companion and new ways to support your emotional well-being.

Open to all students.
