Family
Counseling Center Offers FREE Workshops and Support Groups
Macon, GA: Family Counseling Center of
Central Georgia will be offering FREE workshops and support groups for the
Central Georgia community.
During these challenging
times in our world taking care of yourself is vital. National headlines continue to emphasize the
concerns for our societal collective mental health. It is time to focus on self-care and Family
Counseling can help you begin your process.
Patty Gibbs, executive
director, said, “COVID-19, racial inequity, politics, working remotely, working
in high-risk environments, learning virtually and so much more is causing
stress, anxiety, and depression. We aren’t
able to do the typical activities we are used to doing and it is affecting our
mental health”. Gibbs stated, “these
workshops and support groups are a way for us to reach out and help our
community. We all need support and tips
on how to cope during this period in our history”.
Family Counseling has
licensed professional counselors who will conduct the workshops and support
groups. In addition, community members
can call to make an individual counseling appointment.
All workshops and support
groups are free, all you need to do is call 478 745-2811 to register. All sessions will be conducted virtually. After registration is completed a link to the
session will be sent.
Do this for yourself and
invite your co-workers, friends, and family.
