Relationships Support Group
Relationships can be confusing. Are you just “dating,” “just friends,” “friends with benefits,” or someone who wants to be dating? Any – and all of these types of relationships – can make your head spin. But you’re not alone. If you are a resident living on campus here at SF State, come to this drop-in group in the residential community to meet with other residents who have similar questions/concerns. There is support on how to manage and understand your relationships so you feel more fulfilled.
