Hey everyone! I’m studying psychology here at USA in hopes of becoming a counselor one day. I joined JSSN for the opportunity to help students like myself improve their lives for the better. If you’re struggling with literally anything, whether it be relationship problems, mental health, situational stress or academic stress, chances are we can help or we can direct you to someone who can. I want people to be aware that you don’t have to deal with these things on your own, nor do you need to!
