Feeling stressed, anxious and unsure how to cope with life's challenges?
Ela Township Community Family Services will begin a new group, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Group on April 13. This group is FREE to township residents. Register by Tuesday, April 11 by calling (847) 540-8380.
Group sessions will be held every Thursday from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the lower level of the Ela Town Hall, located at 1155 E. Route 22, in Lake Zurich.
