April is Counseling Awareness Month. If you are experiencing feelings of anxiety or depression, or are having difficulties with a family member or co-worker, talking to a counselor can help. Counseling professionals can help you identify issues and come up with a plan to address them. A free webinar from NYS-Balance, "Will There Be a Couch? What to Expect from Counseling," will be offered twice on Thursday, April 17: from noon to 12:30 p.m. and again from 1:00 to 1:30 p.m. Many people avoid counseling because of misconceptions or even fear. Learn about the counseling process, different types of counseling, what is discussed, and the terminology used.

Please register in advance on the NYS-Balance website. To participate, you will need an Internet-connected PC and a telephone. If the webinar is not scheduled during your break or lunch time, you can view it later online:
