WHERE: In-person in the Clark College Sensory Room (HSC 124 inside the Counseling and Health Center)
WHAT: Need a break from the noise? Come hang out at our weekly Silent Reading Party in the Sensory Room! Whether you’re unwinding with a novel, powering through some homework, or just want to exist in a space that doesn’t demand small talk, this is for you. We’re keeping it cozy, low-pressure, and neurodivergent-friendly—just good vibes and quiet company.
What’s the deal?
Read whatever: Books, comics, textbooks, or even just your own thoughts.
Sensory-friendly: Dim lights, comfy seating, and zero pressure to socialize.
The Goods: Free snacks, coffee and hot tea to keep you fueled.
Come join us! (No need to register – just drop by when you can!) Questions? Contact Shayna (scollins@clark.edu / 360-992-2848)
Neurodivergent Student Support Circle
WHEN: Fridays 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.
WHERE: Over Zoom (with in-person meetup options throughout the term)
WHAT: Join a supportive circle of neurodivergent Clark College students to make friends, check in, and share tips for school and life success. This space is for students with diagnosed or suspected neurodivergence (Autism, ADHD, OCD, etc.). We encourage people to attend each week to build community, but we know that life can be busy and we welcome you to drop in when you can.
Register for the Neurodivergent Student Support Circle.

STRESS REDUCTION WITH GROUP EMDR: FREE WORKSHOPS FOR STUDENTS!
Two workshop options are offered, each with a different focus. Students are welcome to attend one or both. Space is limited. Early registration encouraged.
Join us for an art therapy adventure to build yourself up before exams and learn new top- rated strategies to manage stress and anxiety. EMDR is a wildly popular, evidence-based treatment that calms the nervous system and has been used for everything from PTSD, depression, anxiety, and phobias to general wellness and performance enhancement for athletes and first responders.
Group EMDR does not involve talking about trauma or discomfort, instead it uses art and small body movements to scramble our stress responses and enhance a greater sense of calm, confidence and joy.
This treatment is often expensive and difficult to access – take advantage of this FREE opportunity to try the latest Hollywood-obsessed calming technique.
Questions? Contact Shayna at scollins@clark.edu / 360-992-2848 (call or text).
