What Should I Know about Group Counseling?
Group counseling can be a helpful experience for students. The power of group lies in the support and feedback given by other group members and by the therapists. Groups generally consist of between four and ten members, and are led by one or two therapists. While joining a group can feel intimidating, many mental health professionals believe that group treatment offers advantages which cannot be found in individual counseling or therapy. But don't worry, in a group you would not be coerced to speak about any issues you wish to remain private.
