Hello! My name is Sarah Margeson. I am a mental health counseling student at Florida State University (FSU). I was intrigued by mindfulness as we progressed through the program, and have sought to learn more about mindfulness in an attempt to incorporate those concepts in working in substance abuse counseling (as well as other mental illness typically seen in that field).

There will also be posts regarding new and exciting technology that can be used in the mental health field by clients and professionals alike! Every now and again I will also include posts about how to survive as a student (stress reduction tips, tips for studying, etc).

-The Blog presents information and mindfulness techniques, as well as posts about substance abuse, interesting technological tools, and general tips for well-being.
-The Community Resources tab provides local Mental Health and Substance Abuse counseling resources for the Leon county area. There are also links to the Tallahassee Memorial Hospital mental health services and The National Alliance on Mental Illness for blog readers not in the Tallahassee area. 
-The Information tab provides a brief definition about mindfulness and information about working as a Substance Abuse counselor.
-About us explains the reason for this blog, Florida State University, and a little bit about me!
