Working Through Big Emotions

OHMS is starting a weekly group to provide students with a space to learn about emotional regulation, mindfulness, and skills around dealing with feelings like anger, annoyance, and grudges towards others.

Students are invited to join social work interns, Aubrey and Stephen, to build community, develop skills related to healthy expression of emotions, and coping with overwhelming feeings. This group would meet once a week from 9:30-10:25 AM.
