Counseling Services Group Program
Groups have the advantage of providing additional treatment services as well as offering support from peers experiencing similar concerns or circumstances. Groups are held in the Lauderdale Conference Room (2nd floor, end of hall on left) unless otherwise indicated.
Process Groups are ongoing, meeting on a weekly basis. These groups help members to develop greater insight and to improve their relationships through their interactions with others in the group. An initial counseling appointment is required.
Support Groups are drop in groups designed to provide students with connection and coping around a specific theme. Students do NOT need to be engaged in counseling first.
Skills Groups are time-limited and psycho-educational, meaning that they focus on providing new information and teaching new skills. They are similar to a mini workshop series. An initial counseling appointment is required.

This weekly group brings together principles of improv comedy and wellbeing. It focuses on how we’d like to relate to ourselves and each other by playing improv games and activities. A major goal is to emphasize collaboration, creativity, and community, over competition and perfectionism. Attendees are invited to participate in the activities at their own pace; no improv experience is required. Please contact the facilitator with questions or concerns.Â
