Balancing graduate school, research demands, family responsibilities, and everyday life can leave little room for building meaningful relationships. Questions like:

  • “How do I tell the difference between a friend and a colleague?”
  • “How can I maintain friendships I care about?”
  • “What if anxiety is getting in the way?”

…are common — and you're not alone.

Student Counseling Services invites you to join our FREE group counseling series: Making & Keeping Quality Adult Friends, a supportive space designed to foster healthy connections and provide real-life strategies for navigating adult friendships.

What to expect:

  • Thoughtful, guided conversations on friendship, connection, and mental well-being
  • Practical tools for strengthening relationships
  • A safe, confidential, and welcoming environment
  • Free snacks!

Free parking available behind the facility (enter from 11th Ave S).
