In this workshop, learn the social causes for the increase and what we can do as parents to help our children manage early-on-set anxiety.

Title: Choosing to Forgive
Location: Jefferson Street Counseling & Consulting
Description: November 7 – Choosing to Forgive
Free workshop presented by Cheryle Jones Andrews, LCPC, LMFT
Monday, 7:00pm – 8:30pm
Choosing to forgive seems impossible when we have been deeply hurt by another and are caught in anger, depression and resentment. Choosing not to forgive compounds our anxiety and depression and saddles us with hopelessness. Forgiveness does not mean accepting continued abuse or reconciliation with an offender. Forgiveness lets us release our pain in order to regain our lives we benefit more than the one we choose to forgive. Learn the process of forgiveness and find greater peace. Note: This seminar is a repeat due to interest.
