The Black X-Scape is a student- led mental health peer support group that provides a space for Black students to participate in safe and liberating discussions about mental health and healing. Black students can express themselves freely and engage in conversations about the nuances of mental health, wellness, stigma, and more. The program focuses on sharing resources, offering support, developing coping skills, and fostering collective healing, while exploring and expanding on meaningful aspects of Blackness. 

Black X-Scape is a weekly drop-in program that runs at various times throughout the year.

Please refer to our administrative email for questions and meeting updates at bxscape@mcmaster.ca. 

This program is coordinated by SWC Counsellor Glenda van der Leeuw (vandeg5@mcmaster.ca), Susanne Dorder (dorders@mcmaster.ca), and BSSC Counsellor Ola Kuforiji (kuforo1@mcmaster.ca).

This program is in partnership with the Black Student Success Centre.
