Awareness Counseling Center

The Depression-Anxiety Group is available to individuals who are diagnosed with depression, anxiety or bipolar disorders.  It is not to replace individual therapy. Clients are not charged a fee to attend group.

The group meets on the first and third Wednesdays of the month at ACC.  The session lasts 2 hours from 9am to 11am.  We do take a break for members to socialize.  Members are encouraged to share their struggles and their successes in dealing with a diagnosed mental illness. 

Registration is required due to the limited space available in the group room.  If you have indicated you will be in attendance and can not make it, please call the facilitator to cancel.
