Psychoeducational Programs

The following programs are offered to help students build their coping skills and learn ways to effectively improve their mental health. These are psychoeducational programs, not therapy. If you are in need of psychotherapy, please call 319-335-7294 to schedule an appointment with one of our therapists.

 

Psychoeducational Program offerings will resume for the Fall 2023 semester. More information will be posted in August.
