GRIT & GROWTH
for GRADUATION
A 6-week, virtual group for college students who want to better navigate the stress and anxiety that comes with balancing school and other commitments.
WHY JOIN?
College can be a time of excitement, growth and difficulty.
Unfortunately, we are not given a road map at orientation about how to navigate
stress, anxiety, and balancing this stage in life. Join us for a 6-week, virtual group
to build your toolbox to have grit and growth for graduation.
Academics, Activities, and Adulting? That's a lot to balance!
