Bend

OSU-Cascades in Bend is currently seeking volunteers who are interested in receiving free counseling services through the graduate counseling program. The counseling session will be facilitated by graduate students who will be trained in cognitive–behavioral therapies that are shown to be effective in helping individuals manage stress, anxiety, depression and trauma.
