Group Offerings
Healing Together offers two types of groups: support and psychoeducation. All groups offer an opportunity to meet others who are experiencing similar difficulties and learn that we are not alone. In our support group, a trained therapist guides the members and the group members provide each other with various types of support. Members with the same struggles and obstacles can come together to learn coping strategies, feel more empowered, and for a sense of community. This may look like providing and evaluating relevant information, learning new strategies to address problems, relating personal experiences, listening to and accepting others' experiences, providing sympathetic understanding and establishing a social network. Our Psychoeducational groups are focused on learning how to more effectively cope with symptoms of mental health issues, diagnoses, daily obstacles, and regulating our emotions. These groups may look more like a ‘class’ where the therapist provides information, teaches skills, and uses real world examples to aid in the application of the skills in our daily lives.
