Are you interested in getting involved in the SSW?

Do you enjoy talking about the culture, climate, and narratives of the spaces you find yourself in?

Do you appreciate strengths-based projects, initiatives, and environments?

Do you wish to create intentional learning spaces?

Are you interested in strengthening community within the SSW?

Join the special interest group at the U-M SSW! This open group was formed in response to students, faculty, and staff voicing vibrant ideas for making the SSW a more strengths-based, resilient, compassionate, and connected space. A place where we focus on deficits AND strengths; challenging realities AND hope; ideas AND action.

Our work involves:

Installing and launching a communal SSW Library (coming soon | expected Spring/Summer 2016!)

Designing, selecting, and hosting relaxation, meditation, and/or mindfulness classes (coming soon | expected Fall 2016!)

Drafting a proposal to begin a Positivity Ambassador Program

Generating and proposing ideas to decision-makers for more creative use of common spaces within the SSW
