Leadership and Resiliency Program

The GCM counseling center is happy to announce that it will be hosting the Leadership and Resiliency Program.

LRP works to enhance the internal strengths and resiliency of participants, while preventing involvement in substance use and violence.

This is a school and community-based program focusing on: goal-setting, healthy relationships, and coping strategies. These resiliency areas are constant themes in each of the three major components of LRP: Resiliency Groups, Alternative/Adventure Activities, and Community Volunteer Experiences.
