UB employees who need help parenting during these difficult times can find it in a new support group sponsored by the Employee Assistance Program.

In the Parenting Support Group, members will exchange ideas and coping strategies, success stories and insights, encouraging words and practical advice. Support groups work because people have the opportunity to spend time with others who understand them, as they are experiencing similar situations, EAP staff says. 

The group will meet — virtually, for the time being — from noon to 1 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month, starting Sept. 15.

If interested, or for more information, contact Neil McGillicuddy at 716-645-4458 or nm23@buffalo.edu.
