GROUPS

If you are interested in participating in any of our groups come to Counseling and Psychological Services to schedule an initial assessment appointment or to arrange a group consultation appointment with the group leader (if you have already had an initial assessment appointment). The group facilitator will provide you with information about the group and help to determine if it is a good "match" for you.

 

Book Discussion: Eating in the Light of the Moon

How women can transform their relationships with food through myths, metaphors, and storytelling. A group for women focusing on self-exploration through discussion and exercises inspired by the book.

Emotional Support

Do you find yourself getting overwhelmed by your emotions? Or do you typically push your feelings aside? Do you find it easier to have empathy for others than for yourself? Or do you find yourself judging the behavior of other people throughout the day? This group will help you explore how you relate to yourself and others by incorporating aspects of self-compassion such as being kinder to yourself, staying focused on what is happening in the present, and knowing that you are not alone.

Grief & Loss

Whether you have lost a parent, a friend, a sibling, or someone else... the loss can feel disorienting and even overwhelming. This group will provide a supportive environment in which to talk about your loss with others who are also in the process of grieving and thus understand the pain that you are going through. You don't need to go through this on your own.

Healthy Attachments, Healthy Letting Go

Do you sometimes push people away or get too clingy? Do you have problems asking for what you want or saying “no” to what you don’t want to give? Do you have trouble grieving losses (such as a break-up) and moving on? Do you remain in relationships that you know are not good for you? If you said “yes” to some of these questions, this group may be for you.

Survivors: Rape and Sexual Abuse

Connect with others to know you are not alone. This group provides a safe, healing place to break the silence and move beyond secrecy, fear and shame.

Understanding Self & Others

Interested in deepening your communication and connections with others? Puzzled about what gets in your way? This group provides a safe space in which you will be able to share your experience, find common ground, express your fears, and get support as you explore new ways of relating with others.

WELLNESS & SUPPORT ACTIVITIES

Our wellness and support activities are not counseling or psychotherapy groups and you need not be a client of the center to participate. These activities aim to promote health and connection in a supportive atomsphere. Students are encouraged to participate in these activities as often as they like-- every once in a while or weekly. Just show up!

One Breath at a Time ....

Mindfulness practice helps us slow down, regain our balance, and take things "one breath at a time..." Interested in learning some basic meditation skills and practicing those in a small group setting? You are invited to join a group open to all members of the HSU Community-- students, staff, faculty, and administratin- and all levels of experience. We meet on Tuesdays from 5 to 6 p.m. in NHE 120.

Rainbow Discussion

Are you gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, or questioning your sexual orientation and/or gender identity? You are not alone. Come join us for a collaborative support group. The group is completely confidential and meets Wednesdays from 5 to 6 p.m. in HSU Library 116.

Walk & Talk with Jodi and Jen

Get off to the right start this year! Make a commitment to incorporating more "WELLNESS" activities into your life.
