Spring support groups beginning
You are not alone. Perhaps the most important lesson to learn in life is that whatever the problem, talking to others will lighten the load. Counseling, disability support and student wellness encourages all interested students to consider being part of a counseling group this spring. All groups are free and confidential. They offer a family issues group, test anxiety series and support groups for students with Attention Deficit hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Asperger syndrome. Other groups will be added as needed (e.g. anger management or mindfulness). If you are interested, contact the office at 341-4211 for times and locations. The family group requires a brief interview beforehand.
