Fall 2020 Groups

ZOOM-BASED GROUP OFFERINGS

A note about clinical groups:

The University Counseling Center offers a wide variety of Clinical Groups and Workshops throughout each academic year. Some of our clinical groups are process-oriented, while others are skills-based. Each client admitted to the Group Program must attend a Drop-In appointment and be referred to specific groups by a UCC Clinician. Determination of group participation may depend on presenting concerns, client diagnosis, safety assessment, readiness for change as well as scheduling and other logistics. Please review the following group options and speak to your clinician about your interest!
