Should I choose a presentation or a support group?

Presentations would be given once, whereas support groups have more sessions.
Presentations are geared more towards a larger group of students (like Greek Life, organziations, classes, etc) at their chosen location, while support groups are ideal for students that want to discuss with a small group of their peers about a topic that they are all interested in at the Counseling office.
