Student Groups at The Counseling Center
Groups are one of the most effective tools for addressing issues common among college students. Some groups feel like a class, where you are learning new skills. Other groups offer a private place to connect with peers who face similar challenges and to get support.

Grief & Loss Support Group
This group is for students who have lost a loved one – whether in the past year or years past. You will find a non-judgmental space to share how you’re coping and to hear from your peers about their experiences. Meeting times will depend on student schedules.
Reflections: A Body Image Group
This weekly group will meet for eight weeks in the spring semester, with day/times dependent on member schedules.
