Mental Health Tips - Groups
“Connecting with others is rewarding; it makes us feel like we’re not alone in the world.”
– Jonah Berger
In the Student Counseling Center at UW-Stout, we offer many different modes of therapy to support the students, but one of the modes of connection and support that people often don’t think about is groups. Individual therapy is wonderful, but group therapy can often be more powerful than individual therapy, as it can support people in a way that promotes community, learning from others and helping to reduce stigma both personally and with others. It is an incredible way to work on your personal mental health goals and find support and connection. Please see below for more benefits of group counseling:

Everyone will be at different places in treatment, and can offer unique perspectives, skills, and ways of coping.
