This is a great time to take advantage of the unlimited counseling sessions offered in groups.
In an effort to better serve students, we are offering group counseling to DePaul students. Without compromising privacy, students can learn more about themselves and gain support from others. All are welcome to take advantage of this opportunity.
We work to offer a variety of groups and workshops at the Lincoln Park and Loop campuses, as well as online, for students who may be struggling with specific issues (e.g. grief/loss, self-esteem), or who would like to understand more about how they tend to relate to others in general.
Group counseling and educational workshops can be particularly effective for a broad array of concerns. These resources not only offer students an opportunity to get support and feedback from others, but also to learn more about themselves in unique and stimulating ways.
Depending on student turnout and other factors, groups may change from quarter to quarter throughout the academic year.
