Dealing with Now: A Support Group for College Students
For college students--
Response will be running a brief education and support group for college students during their winter break. The group is called Dealing with Now and will offer participants a chance to come together in a safe space to share their experiences and learn skills to respond to stressors presented by the pandemic. The group will meet on Mondays from 5pm-6pm beginning on Dec. 14th. It will be hosted virtually on Zoom. Click here to register.
On Thursday, Dec. 17th from 7 – 8:15 we will be hosting a companion program for parents. This one-evening event will use brain science to help parents better understand the thinking and decision-making of their college-age children and provide skills and tips to support them during this challenging time.
