Living with Chronic
Illness
The Furman Counseling Center and The Office of Disability Services
invite all students with chronic illnesses to join the "Living with
Chronic Illness Group". Sometimes one of the hardest things about living
with a chronic illness is the sense of isolation it can create. During
this group, students exchange stories, advice and strategies that reduce
the feelings of isolation. It provides a confidential and supportive
forum to talk about the logistics, decisions and emotions that accompany
having a chronic illness. For the purpose of this group, chronic illness
is defined as any illness (both psychiatric and medical) that presents
physical and/or emotional challenges on a daily basis.
The "Living with Chronic
Illness Group" will meet (tentatively) on Wednesdays from 3:00-4:00pm in
the Furman Counseling Center; please call the Counseling Center at
4/2902 or email Group Leader Brooke Hersey, Psy. D. at
bhersey@barnard.edu to set up a
meeting for more information.

BAID Network
The BAID (Barnard Alumnae
Involved with Disabilities) Network is a mentoring project jointly
coordinated by the Offices of Alumnae
Affairs, Career Development
and Disability Services to enable current Barnard students with disabilities to meet
and/or talk with disabled alumnae from a wide variety of fields. The BAID Network also
serves to expand our directory of information on disability services and the availability
of accommodations in graduate and professional schools.
*The BAID is a
confidential network open to alumnae as well as current students with disabilities.
