The Counseling Center hosted an event to promote awareness for Anxiety Awareness Day in the Clark Student Center atrium on Oct. 10.
“Midterms are coming up so this was the perfect time to keep people calm before all the tests come out,” Robinson said.
The event featured helpful pamphlets, anxiety level screening and tips for minimizing all of the stressors of college life.
“The students, for sure, go through lots of anxiety at test time and even not during test time,” Martita Robinson, a graduate student in counseling, said. “So it’s just a good way to let the word out that counseling is free here and they can utilize it anytime.”
About 60 people took advantage of the event.
Through Nov. 21, the Counseling Center will offer a relaxation session every Thursday from 3:30-4:30 p.m. and a creative expression class, which uses art as a way to relieve the anxieties common for college students.
Students who are stressed with school, family, work, or any other problems are encouraged to take advantage of any of the services provided by the Counseling Center.
