- Consistency in group offerings allows students to prioritize the day and time of their desired group when scheduling classes for the following semester
Below are descriptions of our currently offered groups:
Understanding Self and Others
This group is a good fit for those who may feel socially isolated, have difficulties connecting with others, suffer from excessive self-criticism, or have problems asserting themselves in relationships. In this group, members give feedback to each other by expressing their thoughts and feelings about what others say or do in a group. Members also share about themselves and relate to each other’s experiences, enabling members to provide much-needed support to one another. One unique feature of this experience is that facilitators try to make it safe for members to try out new behaviors such as increasing assertiveness or improving communication skills. Members are also encouraged to ask other members for feedback in order to learn more about themselves and how others might perceive them. The main goal is for group members is to determine possible changes that might improve their connections and interactions with others and themselves and then begin making these changes. Understanding Self and Others groups are a good match for those wanting a mixture of support and feedback regarding their goals and how they relate to others.
Music Therapy Group
The Music Therapy group is a creative twist to CAPS’ Understanding Self and Others group. The music group seeks to help individuals struggling with interpersonal concerns. The music group is unique in that participants will process and engage in dialogue through the creative use of music. In this space, participants will be encouraged to express their thoughts, reactions, and overall connection to one another after the introduction of a musical selection provided by facilitators or group members. This group is a good fit for individuals who struggle to express themselves as well as for those who would like to enhance their awareness and interpersonal skills through the use of the arts. Please note that a music background is not required to participate in this group.
