Group Therapy

Peer-to-peer Interaction

In group therapy, four to ten people meet with one or more trained group therapists and talk about what is troubling them. Group therapy provides exciting opportunities for growth and development. Groups meet weekly. Groups tend to be anywhere from 1 to 2 hours in length. Confidentiality is discussed in all groups. Group orientations (30-minute introductory meeting with a therapist) are required prior to joining some groups.

CAPS is committed to the health and safety of our students. We continue to review protocols including masking, distancing, and virtual options to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and it's variants, as well as to keep you and all members safe. For that reason, CAPS Groups and Workshops will be held virtually, unless otherwise noted.
