General Questions
Who Should Attend Mindset Reset?

Clinicians from the Counseling and Testing Center.
Will I Have To Talk in Front of A Group or Share Personal Things?

Mindset Reset is focused on learning coping skills, rather than talking through the concerns that may have led you to attend Mindset Reset.
