Leaving for college is a major life transition, one that can trigger many emotions. If you’re looking for more support as you navigate this new chapter of life, check out our upcoming virtual support group for incoming college students!

The focus of the group will be on connecting with peers who are going through this transition alongside you. We will spend the summer discussing feelings about going to college and leaving high school, and ways to prepare for the changes to come. This group is open to all gender identities and is billable to insurance.

Participants will meet every Tuesday evening from June 8th to August 10th (skipping July 6th) from 5-6:30 PM. If you’re interested in signing up or have questions, please contact group facilitator Rebecca Enders, MA at renders@relatemn.org. To view group flyer click here.
