Student Counseling Groups
|
At times, everyone feels stressed, angry, depressed, anxious, or confused. Sometimes our interpersonal skills prevent us from expressing ourselves adequately. Sometimes, our values and goals conflict.
In addition to the regularly scheduled Campus Care sites across campus (including the at the International Student Center in MacMillan Hall), Student Counseling Service offers a number of Group Counseling opportunities.
Please call 513-529-4634 to get set up one of the current counseling groups that can be found in the linked webpage below.
