Fortunately, there is a solution to the mental health challenges and loneliness prevalent among college students. Dr. Kate Steiner aims to address these issues by delving into the significance of fostering a sense of belonging. This program stems from her personal experience of depression and loneliness in college and the difference made when she joined her sorority. Dr. Kate offers practical strategies to equip attendees with valuable insights, to support their own mental health.

Creating, Setting, and Communicating Your Boundaries
