Groups & Workshops

Workshops and group therapy are excellent ways to:

- connect with others who are going through similar experiences
- realize that we are not alone and our experiences are quite normal
- learn new ways to manage challenging thoughts and feelings
- try on new ways of interacting in a safe environment
- change the way we respond to life's situations

Decades of research shows that group therapy is as effective as individual therapy to support a variety of concerns--sometimes even better for concerns like social anxiety. Like individual therapy, group therapy is also confidential. Group members agree to maintain each other's confidentiality and are motivated to do so to maintain their own. Any student who is currently enrolled in classes at Seton Hill is eligible for this semester's groups. All workshops & groups are currently in-person only and are open to students of all identities, but are not meant for observational experiences (i.e. for a class).

Fall 2026 Support Groups

Therapy focused on peer sharing and support, but led by a therapist.

Grief Support Group

This is an ongoing grief support group for students navigating the death of a loved person. Group begins Thursday September 10th and meets every other Thursday (excluding academic breaks). Grief group is facilitated by Therapist Rachael Graham, LCSW and IUP Counseling Intern Ashley Niccolai. Students struggling with grief are encouraged to attend this safe and supportive space where they can relate and connect with other bereaved students and redefine themselves after loss. Group consists of structured discussion as well as reflective and memorial activities that encourage healing and connection. Group is NOT about re-experiencing trauma, but about connecting with others in the universal experience of grief while honoring those who have passed. Participants lean on each other while exploring the impact of loss and finding hope and purpose in the life we are still living.

When/Where: Every other Thursday starting Thursday, Sept 10th and ending December 3rd.

No prior D&D experience is required—whether you're a seasoned adventurer or brand new to the game, all are welcome to join the quest.
