Group Counselling, Mood Walks and The Beacon 

Patti is a Counsellor in charge of groups on campus from peer support to Thriving in Action to skills on working with emotions. These groups are perfect for those who would like some support in a more informal group session, or those who would prefer to attend a session with a friend. These sessions are co-hosted by our Placement Students who can provide peer to peer support, and all groups are free to attend.

Keep an eye on our event calendar for the groups being offered this month.
