Spring semester group counseling schedule is now available

For some students, the idea of joining a counseling group may sound intimidating and anxiety provoking. That hesitation and uncertainty is understandable, yet students report having positive and impactful experiences from participating in our groups, and feeling improvement in the areas of concern that motivated them to come to Mental Health Services.

Group counseling has been shown to be one of the most effective strategies to address most issues experienced by students, such as anxiety, depression, loneliness, and academic stressors.

Group counseling provides students with the opportunity to connect with others in a safe, confidential and supportive space. Groups allow students to share about their experiences with others who can understand and relate to their concerns, connect across differences to learn new perspectives, and experiment with new ideas, behaviors, and ways of being or interacting. Through group engagement, students develop insights and skills that can be used to work through the challenges they face and improve their quality of life.
