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).

Group begins Thursday January 29th and meets every other Thursday (excluding academic breaks). Grief group is facilitated by Therapist Rachael Graham, LCSW and IUP Counseling Intern Em Withers.

Group consists of structured discussion as well as reflective and memorial activities that encourage healing and connection as participants navigate life after loss.

Participants lean on each other while exploring the impact of loss and finding hope and purpose in the life we are still living.

Anxiety within Our Faith
Anxiety within Our Faith
Sometimes our anxiety can use our spirituality and faith against us; forcing us to lament over questions like "Am I a good person?" or "Am I good enough for God?"
This group will be an interfaith processing group where students can learn to differentiate between what are our beliefs and values, and what are our irrational and anxious thoughts.
When/Where: Thursdays 3-4pm (Contact Adam Korte for location)
