Group counseling can be a great first step for those who aren't sure if they want to see an individual counselor - or a great addition to the work you're already doing with a counselor. Joining a counseling group or workshop can help you build skills, learn about yourself, and make connections with others who are facing similar difficulties.
While some groups may require members to be engaged in ongoing counseling due to the
content, many groups or workshops at Winthrop are open to any eligible student, regardless of whether you've seen a counselor before or not.
These groups are located on campus and are led or co-led by Counseling Services staff.
