Counseling and Psychological Services Groups and Events
Weekly Support and Workshop Offerings
Undergraduate Interpersonal Growth Group (yearlong in-person at Rose Hill)
Do you get anxious in social situations? Feel isolated or depressed? Struggle with transitions? Wish you were different? You're not alone!
The power of an Interpersonal Growth Group lies in the interactions among members, the feedback and observations they give and receive, and what they learn about themselves in the process. Group members get help and help others at the same time. They gain insight into how others experience them, and they can experiment with being different. Students often report feeling less isolated, more self-aware, more connected to others, and more comfortable being uncomfortable as a result of their Group experience.
