Eight-week Anxiety Camp addresses fears

Anxiety Camp is an eight-week psychoeducational program for anxiety sufferers, their partners, and family members.

Adults and adolescents able to participate meaningfully in a group experience are welcome. A no-charge intake interview is required.
The group will meet from 7 to 9 p.m. Sunday nights for eight weeks starting July 8. Cost is $30 per session per family, with fee waivers possible. Attendance is limited to 12 people.
