What is Group Counseling?
In addition to individual therapy, CAPS offers group therapy which is sometimes more effective for certain issues. Group sessions are facilitated by one or two therapists and provide an opportunity to meet with other students who share similar challenges. The encouragement and support offered by others in a group can instill a sense of hope, optimism, and belonging. Members feel less isolated and alone and are provided with opportunities to learn that they can help others by sharing their experiences. In this process, group members learn about interpersonal relationships and acquire social and communication skills. As with individual therapy, confidentiality is maintained about everything that is discussed in the group and emphasize that all group members do the same.
Please check back in the Fall 2012 Semester for Group Offerings.
