SUPPORT GROUP FOR STUDENTS WITH CHRONIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS

Psychological Services offers a support group for students coping with chronic medical conditions.  The group meets on Fridays, from 3:00 to 4:00 pm.  Students have a lively discussion of issues including when to tell friends about their illness, dealing with isolation and stigma,  coping with pain and fatigue, and their treatment experiences. Students may call Mark Rubinstein, LICSW, at Psychological Services (401.863-3476) if they have any questions about the group or would like to attend a meeting.
