Groups & Workshops

Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) offers a wide range of Groups in various formats to serve the diverse needs of the UCSD Community. These formats are:

• Psychotherapy Groups

• Growth & Support Groups

• Psycho-Educational Workshops

• Forums 

Group approaches to personal growth are frequently the most effective way to explore and support changes you may wish to make in your life.  Through these formats, students can gain specific skills and strategies to meet personal goals, explore areas that present personal challenges, and gain support and encouragement from other students.

To see which groups are running this quarter (and when/where they are run), please go to our Calendar page.

Psychotherapy Groups and Growth/Support Groups typically meet weekly throughout the quarter except where indicated.  Regular attendance is expected.  To join one of these groups, please contact the leader(s) to get more information.

Psycho-Educational Workshops also meet weekly. Because these workshops focus on the acquisition and practice of specific skills, these workshops typically meet for a shorter period of time (e.g., one quarter) than the other group formats. To join one of our workshops, please contact the leader(s) to get more information. 

Forums are drop-in groups that meet throughout the academic year and do not require weekly attendance. You do not need to contact the Forum leader to attend the group.
