Introduction to Group Therapy
Workshops or group counseling sessions from the CAPS Center provide opportunities for students with common concerns to meet in a safe and confidential setting and explore current issues that are affecting them. Members can anticipate learning new information and skills to improve their interpersonal, emotional, or psychological well-being, while receiving support, encouragement, and guidance from other members.
Workshops and groups are open to all students… regardless of whether you’ve ever attended other services at the CAPS Center before.
