Banner saying, "McMaster Student Wellness Centre presents GradChats! - A drop-in group created by and for grad students. Weekly themes include stress management, perfectionism, procrastination, loneliness, COVID anxiety, and more!".

GradChats is a biweekly casual, virtual space for graduate students to connect across shared experiences of a general theme. A graduate student from the SWC’s Graduate Wellness Team will be co-facilitating the drop-in each week. Students who join will be able to walk away with new ideas on how to understand and deal with the theme of the week. The sessions are informal drop-in style, and sign-up can be accessed with a link which will be posted here come September 2024.

If you have any questions about the group please email Jin Byun at byunj8@mcmaster.ca
