What is a Group?
Groups are a beneficial form of treatment for many different concerns, including those commonly experienced by college students such as:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Adjustment issues
- Some groups specifically focus on a concern, such as anxiety, and are structured to provide information (psychoeducation) and training in skills to address the concern.
- Other groups are less structured and emphasize sharing, support, and feedback among members.
Group counseling is not a second-choice intervention; rather, it offers the opportunity to learn unique skills and/or a special interpersonal dimension to counseling.
What is a Workshop?
Workshops provide members with knowledge and skills related to a specific topic such as:
- Stress reduction
- Managing anxiety
- Mindfulness & self-care
- Workshops are opportunities to learn and practice different coping skills and wellness habits aimed towards improving the mental health of college students.
Some options are one-time events, some are drop-in based, and others are brief series.
