SPRING 2023 GROUP COUNSELING PROGRAMS

 https://health.cornell.edu/services/mental-health-care/group-counseling

We have many new and innovative groups this semester that will be starting soon. There are many identity specific groups that support connection and increasing a sense of belonging as well as groups that assist students in developing skills for increasing wellbeing. The one below in particular may be a good fit for your students. However, please check out the whole list in the link. I also cut and pasted below how to join a group. There are many doorways! Please reach out if you have any questions and please share widely.

Tools For Feeling Better: 4-Week Group

  • Wednesdays, 3:30 – 4:45 pm via Zoom in two four-week cycles: 1st cycle: March 1, 8, 15, 22; 2nd cycle: April 12, 19, 26 and May 3
  • Open to undergraduate and graduate / professional students
  • Four weekly sessions – no drop-ins; group orientation required
  • Facilitators: Sheila Singh, PhD & Joy Mushabac, LCSW-R

This four-session group teaches students some evidence-based mindfulness practices to help them deal more effectively with difficult thoughts and feelings. Students can expect that over the course of this group they will increase their capacity to manage life’s challenges with greater skillfulness allowing them to put more energy toward doing what gives their lives value, meaning and purpose.
