Back at Princeton is a weekly discussion group for undergraduates who would like support as they transition back to campus life after a leave of absence. The group meetings are focused on helping students readjust to campus life during the first term back, by engaging in peer-to-peer dialogue about shared experiences, and becoming more adept at responding to stress and adversity. Group members process the challenges and triumphs they encounter as they adjust to being at Princeton again, in a confidential setting.

Membership: Open to undergraduate students returning from a leave of absence.

Many people have thoughts feelings or experiences they don’t want to have. Sometimes when our emotions run too hot or too cold we can end up doing things we regret or that get in the way of our success. This group is not designed to “get rid of” unwanted thoughts and feelings, but instead to help you manage difficult feelings more effectively and healthfully.
