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.
