Anxiety GroupAnxiety Group creates a space to connect with others; learn about anxiety and its impact; understand connections between anxious thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; face fears in a supportive setting; and increase skills to manage anxiety. Through group relationships, members also learn about themselves and others, gain insights into the origins of their anxiety, and give and receive support and meaningful feedback. Because anxiety often affects relationships, this group also gives opportunities for overcoming barriers to sharing authentically and openly about emotions, improving interpersonal difficulties and social isolation, and trying new behaviors and ways of relating in a safe environment.

Previously Offered Groups
Back to BaselineThis is a group for students who have recently returned to campus following a period of absence from the university due to hospitalization or another mental health crisis, or who recently experienced a crisis that did not require hospitalization. Students actively in crisis are not appropriate for this group. Students in this group will have the option to receive wrap around services with other campus providers, and are expected to be involved with at least one other mental health service in addition to group. This group is short term, with the goal of helping group participants to stabilize and successfully implement crisis prevention strategies/tools, and then transitioning to a more typical outpatient service. Group content focuses on developing an overall crisis prevention plan, regularly creating safety plans, improving emotion regulation, and providing support during a transitionary time for those returning campus.
