Support

Group provides support, especially during these trying times in our lives.  Group gives us the chance to be around people with similar issues, which helps us to feel like we aren’t alone and this can be very relieving.  Group also provides a different perspective on our situation that can really help us cope.

 

Hope

Group can provide us with hope that healing is possible, as we surround ourselves with people who have made progress, despite being in tough situations.

 

Group teaches us about ourselves

We learn about ourselves through relationship with others. What we see in others, we also have within ourselves. This awareness can break down barriers to achieving optimal mental health. 

 

Social and Relationship Skills

Group promotes social skills and teaches us how to have healthy relationships with others.

 

Cost Effective

Group therapy costs less than individual therapy.  Both combined makes the gold standard for health and healing.
