Many students seek counseling services to address issues related to anxiety and depression.  Research has shown that cognitive and behavioral strategies can be used to reduce the distress caused by anxiety and depression.  The Counseling Center is offering skill based workshops to share these strategies with students in a comfortable, informative, and accessible way.  Any enrolled Texas State student is welcome to attend all components of these workshops.  Students do not need to be a client of the Counseling Center to attend these workshops.  REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED and workshops that do not have a minimum of 10 students will be canceled.
