What is Group Counseling and Why Join?Group counseling is a powerful and effectual way for students to share, give and receive support, as well as to learn and heal. Many students can benefit from counseling in a group format and all the information shared remains confidential. Therapy groups are free and open to all currently enrolled 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 students. Group works! In studies comparing group psychotherapy to individual counseling, group therapy has been shown to be as effective and sometimes even more effective than individual counseling. Group therapy offers the opportunity for students to learn new skills, to share concerns as well as inherent wisdom in a facilitated environment with other students. Some groups are focused on common concerns, such as anxiety, relationships, and self-understanding while other groups offer an opportunity for students with a shared identity to gather and connect in community.
