Palm Desert High School offers group counseling support in the following areas:
Anti-Anxiety Group
Site-based school counseling group designed to help students learn coping strategies necessary to address stress and anxiety.
Stress and Your Mood
Stress is an automatic physical, mental and emotional response to a challenging event and a normal part of everyone's life. When channeled positively, stress can lead to growth, action and change. Negative stress can lessen the quality of life. This small group will focus on skills to use to enhance one's ability to cope with adversity, practice relaxation techniques and improve personal relationships.
