Join LCC’s mental health counselors to talk relationships, situationships, single and proud, and everything in between.

Counselors will be on hand with tips and treats from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 14, in the Student Life Adult Resource Center, located in Gannon Building 2302, in the back of the StarZone.

Participants will be entered into a drawing for prizes: Dinner for two, movie passes, or a Valentine’s-themed stuffed animal.
