为什么要加入一个小组?
We offer a wide variety of groups that help students address a number of issues. Some are traditional therapy groups, some are support groups around a particular theme and some are psycho-education groups. Groups provide an opportunity for you to try out new behaviors, express feelings you have been hesitant to express, connect with others who share your concerns, assert yourself in different ways, learn new skills and experiment with novel ideas.

A therapy group at CAPS typically has five to eight members and two co-leaders (group-trained CAPS clinicians). Group sessions are usually 1½ hours long and are held weekly during fall and spring semesters. What group members talk about and when is up to each individual. Most find that once they feel comfortable in the group, they benefit from discussing issues that led them to counseling. All members agree to keep group content confidential. This means that as the group develops and members get to know and trust one another, members can safely discuss their important concerns and issues, making the group more meaningful for all members. Group becomes more helpful as this trust develops.
Individuals can benefit from membership in a therapy group in the following ways:
- Gain greater self-awareness
- Understand their relationships better
- Improve existing and future relationships
- 提高自尊
- 学会信任他人
- 促进个人成长

Drop-in groups are open to any 十大博彩推荐排名州立 student. No appointment is needed, and weekly attendance is recommended but not required. Drop-in groups combine support and learning about particular issues, challenges or aspects of identity. These groups may be discussion based, solution-focused, or some combination of both. Some drop-in groups may require a pre-screening to ensure that the group is the right fit for you.
