Safe Haven helps families cope
Sarah Rogers
Campus Life Editor
Alcohol and/or drug abuse affects
more people than just the person with
the abuse problem. Immediate and
extended family members, loved ones,
friends, and significant others are at just
as great of a risk to suffer from the
consequences of an abuse problem.
If someone you know is suffering
from the pain related to caring for
someone with an alcohol or drug
problem, then consider meeting with a
group of people that share the same
problem.
A new group on campus has been
formed to provide students, staff, and
faculty the opportunity to share with one
another. The support group, called Safe
Haven, holds meetings every Tuesday
from 6:00 to 7:00 P.M. in the Medical
Services Building. Everyone is invited
to attend and all discussions held during
the meetings will be kept confidential.
Feel free to call Nikto Marret, R.N.
at 883-8244 with any questions or
concerns.
Medical issues discussed

As children, we all loved playing
doctor. Bandaging wounds with our
blankets and healing broken bones with
a kiss seemed like great fun. However,
those majoring in the some field of
medicine in college today wish it could
only be that simple.
Whether you are a decided pre-med
or just interested in any aspect of this
very broad field, a group has been
organized with you in mind.
“So many things that students want
to do with their lives today demand at
least a minimum amount of medical
background,” states Lee Henry, a R.N.
at Brevard College. “More than
anything, we want this group to provide
students with knowledge that isn’t
Women’s group formed

Hear ye! Hear ye! Calling all
women. Dee Dasburg, Brevard College
counselor, has formed a Women’s
Group with all of the college’s students,
staff, and faculty in mind.
The group meets every Tuesday
from 12:20 to 1:30 P.M. The group is
open format, and topics change every
week depending on who attends. There
is no set agenda and all women are
welcome to join at any time. Recent
discussions have included stress, loss,
aggression on the college campus, the
search for a compatible individual.
Whether you are a resident or
commuter, student or teacher, bring
your lunch and chew on ideas as the
group gets to know each other a little
better each week.
Do not be afraid that you will be
entering into an hour of male-bashing.
This is not a gathering of the
“Feminazi’s”, but a chance for all
women to explore their thoughts and
concerns in a comfortable setting.
“The variety of group members
broadens the topics and helps younger
students to realize that every woman
experiences the same concerns at all
times during their lives”, states Ann
Coffey, a freshman at Brevard.
However, the group is not run by
Ms. Dasburg alone. She is assisted by
Emilie Mallijati, an intern from Western
Carolina University, who will be
graduating from the institution in May
with a degree in counseling.
If you are afraid that you might not
necessarily something they will use
everyday but will at least help them take
a look into the vast field of medicine.”
The group meets every Thursday
night at 6pm in the Medical Services
Building. Call Lee Henry at 884-8244
with any questions or concerns.
be a constant attender, have no fear!
The weekly sessions are never
continuances from the week before, but
a new chance for discussion each week.
The conversation changes as the group
does, and all information is kept
confidential.
Couldn’t you use the opportunity to
meet with people like you that share
your concerns and feelings? If so, the
meetings are held every Tuesday in the
Stamey Counseling Center. Just follow
the laughter!
