Want to learn more about yourself? Interested in improving your relationships? Feeling lonely or disconnected?
Please come join a safe, fun, energizing group of your peers where you can explore how you relate to yourself and to others while receiving support and feedback. Presenting issues vary widely from depression, anxiety and difficulties relating to/accepting self or others, issues of family conflict or abuse and more. Students who want to resolve specific concerns as well as those seeking personal growth are welcome. This can be a space to get your peers' perspectives on various issues and recognize that you are not the only one.
If you have any questions about group therapy, please contact CAPS Staff Therapists Michelle McDaniel and Magy Garcia.
We currently offer both in-person (Stockton campus) and virtual groups (all three campuses).
GENERAL PROCESS GROUPS
The power of process groups lies in the unique opportunity to receive multiple perspectives, support, encouragement, and feedback from other individuals in a safe environment. The focus of these groups is to help you better understand yourself and others. Members of this group frequently talk about relationship concerns, family interactions, academic stressors, depression, anxiety, and how to handle the stress of being a student, friend, and partner to others.
WISE MINDS
This group will teach crisis survival skills, help you identify and label your emotions, teach the skills to focus your mind, help you accept the current moment, learn how to identify and label emotions, and learn helpful strategies for asking what one needs, saying no and coping with conflict in relationships. This group meets Fridays at 4pm via Zoom. For more information, please contact CAPS Staff Therapist Michelle McDaniel.
MINDFUL UOP
This group offers a gradual and systematic introduction to the practice of mindfulness and meditation. Sustained practice cultivates the ability to be present in our moment-to-moment experience with greater awareness, acceptance, and understanding. This drop-in group allows for practice and discussion of various meditation practices, and well as education in how to incorporate it into daily activities. This group meets Tuesdays at 5pm in person at Sears Hall and via Zoom. For more information, please contact CAPS Staff Therapist Barney Jordan
