STUDENT COUNSELING SERVICE ...a Dept, in the Division of Student Services PERSONAL COUNSELING GROUPS WHAT IS GROUP COUNSELING AND HOW CAN IT HELP? Group counseling involves four to ten people meeting with one or two trained counselors to talk about things that are concerning them. The group provides a safe environment because group membership and everything said in group is confidential. Group members learn new ways of behaving and interacting with others by expressing their own feelings about what someone says or does. With the guidance of the counselor(s), the group provides support and offers alternatives to members so that they may resolve difficulties and develop new ways of relating to people. Group counseling also provides the opportunity for people tc see that they are not alone with their problems. How much you talk about yourself depends on what you are comfortable with. You can benefit from group even when you are saying little because you will learn about yourself as others talk about their concerns. SCS COUNSELING GROUPS FOR FALL 1993 If you feel that a particular group may be of help to you, make an appointment at the Student Counseling Services, 300 YMCA Bldg, (moving to Henderson Hall in 1993-1994) to speak to a screening counselor. The counselor can help you determine if group counseling would benefit you. If you have any questions concerning group counseling, call Dr. Laura Bettor (845-4427) at the Student Counseling Service. •ADULT CHILDERN OF ALCOHOLICS Monday 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. Support and counseling group for students who grew up in a family where one or both parents abused alcohol or drugs.
