Group Therapy
Overview of Group Therapy
Group therapy services are offered to students who are seeking a degree at Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ. Groups are offered on topics that are perceived to fulfill important needs for students as identified through emerging issues. Group provides an opportunity available to students who are in need of a supportive environment that assists them in establishing and maintaining close and gratifying relationships with others while working on the struggles that brought them in to Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS). Group can offer peer validation and support and also provides students more understanding of their relationships with others and how they could be honest about their feelings with someone in exchange for honest feedback about themselves.
Throughout the academic year CAPS may offer topic-specific counseling groups for the students enrolled at Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ and students are encouraged to participate. Additionally, some of the mandated Drug and Alcohol Services are group oriented.
If you believe the University would benefit from a specific therapy group, please contact CAPS to share your ideas!
