Spring Semester Small Groups Offered by Counseling Services
February 9, 2022
You are not alone.
It’s a message and an assurance offered to Nyack College and Alliance Theological Seminary students by the Office of Counseling Services. Among the many ways that community is established at Nyack/ATS, small groups provide a means of processing life’s hurdles and obstacles.
This week, Director of Counseling Services Maggie Labocki launched a mix of in-person and virtual groups for the spring semester led by Counseling Services staff. The groups highlighted below described as “Open” welcome participants to join at any point during the 8-week series of meetings. “Closed” groups will not add new members after the first two weeks of the 8-week series of meetings.
