Mental Health Groups

Sometimes, students come to the Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) with concerns that may be more effectively addressed in a group counseling setting. Our staff facilitate several mental health groups each academic semester. We welcome student suggestions for new groups. Groups are categorized as either open or closed:

Open Groups: Any student may join an open group at any time during the semester.

Closed Groups: Any student is welcome to join the group within the registration window of the group. Once registration is closed, no participants can be added. While participants may choose to leave a closed group at any time, they cannot return to that specific group once they have withdrawn.

Please review the group descriptions below for more detailed information.
