We'd love to invite you to a free group for any women struggling with shame, self-doubt, or negative self-talk. The group will explore ways to understand your shame and how to overcome it. Over the course of six sessions, the group will work to cultivate self-compassion and care for themselves.

The group starts on Monday, February 1st at 6pm and will run until March 29th. Contact the MTS Counseling Center to reserve your spot!
