Croup counseling involves about four to ten people meeting with one or two counselors serving as group lead ers. Group leaders work to provide a safe, confidential environment where group members are free to discuss their problems and concerns. Through the group, members identify with others who are experiencing similar issues and increase their self-awareness by obtaining genuine and honest feedback from others. 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. Make an appointment at the SCS to speak to a screening counselor to help you determine if a group might benefit you. If you have any questions or suggestions, call Laura Bettor at 845-4427 ext. 126. * Biofeedback Workshop Monday 5:00 - 6:30 p.m One-session workshops designed to give students an introduction to relaxation techniques, including how biofeedback aids in relaxation.
