Fall 2013 Groups coming soon!

Groups are often the most effective way to

• gain support and encouragement from others;
• learn how you are perceived by others;
• gain specific skills to improve your life;
• develop relational skills.

Ground rules, including confidentiality, are typically established with group members to help promote trust. For most benefit, consistent attendance is strongly encouraged.

**The Fall 2013 Groups and Workshops schedule is coming soon! Check back again soon.
