GROUP SERVICES

The Counseling Center provided group services both in-person and via secure videoconference during the 2022-23 academic year. Groups provide students the experience of learning and developing through interaction with peers in a supportive and therapeutic environment. As in years past, students found the experience enriching and beneficial to their overall well-being and academic success.

We offered 17 general and topical groups, serving 236 students:

97% of students agreed that group services improved their ability to understand and interact with people who are different than they are

92% agreed that group improved their overall well-being

97% would recommend group counseling to a friend

What students said about participating in group counseling:

• “Do it! It has changed my life, and I'm sure it will change yours, too!”

• “You will feel supported and cared for by everyone involved!”

• “Group is a safe space for open, honest, respectful communication. Being a part of group leads to new observations and perspectives.”

• “I think it’s a great opportunity to learn about yourself and gain self-confidence and self-esteem in your natural state of being.”

• “Group is definitely a safe and warm place where you can share your feelings and thoughts.”
