    <description>The Bounce Back Podcast is a podcast for students at West Virginia University that breaks down resilience into real, usable tools. Join clinicians Laith Alabbad and Spring Lepack as we discuss building resiliency through honest conversations, campus-relevant stories, and clinician insight that doesn’t feel clinical. This podcast is presented by WVU’s Carruth Center’s Resiliency Project.

This podcast shares general mental health information, but it’s not a substitute for therapy. If you are a current WVU student interested in starting therapy, reach out to the Carruth Center for Counseling and Psychological Services at 304-293-4431 or schedule an appointment online at carruth.wvu.edu. </description>
