There is a new group coming  to PIHS, this group is called the anxiety lunch group. This group takes place on Thursdays during the first period lunch. The group is mainly for 11th and 12th graders, but anyone in any grade is able to attend.

The group itself is supposed to be a more structured way to talk about anxiety, what it is, and also how it affects your thoughts and brain. The group also covers techniques and tricks for you to control your anxiety. “I would encourage students to take advantage of services provided by the school,” said social worker Whitney Pinette.
