Last Friday October 9th, our Refuge Counseling team in the Athens Office visited a local elementary school for a special session on understanding big feelings! Nancy, Caroline, Parastesh, and Aiden had an incredible time helping students talk through their worries and fears and practicing hands-on coping skills to navigate those heavy emotions.

We are deeply honored to partner with local schools and support the future generation of our community as they build emotional resilience and confidence.
