The Counseling Center offers various support groups throughout the academic year. Groups can be an excellent way for students to make important connections and cope with emotional concerns that can hinder academic and personal growth. Typically, support groups are organized around a theme or a need. Most groups meet weekly for an hour for one semester. Groups are facilitated by a counselor, and students are required to meet with the counselor once before the group begins.
All groups are free and confidential.
