Groups for IUP Students: Fall 2018
Research has shown that group counseling is as effective as individual counseling. Talking with other students who have similar experiences provides support and perspective.
The following groups are offered at the Counseling Center in G31 Suites on Maple East. These groups usually include four to nine students and are facilitated by two therapists. Group facilitators work to provide a safe, confidential environment where
members are free to discuss their thoughts, feelings, and concerns as they are comfortable.
Participation in these groups requires an initial meeting with the group facilitators. To schedule this initial meeting or to ask questions, contact the Counseling Center at 724-357-2621, stop by G31 Suites on Maple East, e-mail the group leaders (see
below), or e-mail counseling-center@iup.edu.
