Groups at CAPS
Group therapy offers a safe and supportive environment in which you can explore a range of topics such as interpersonal relationships, isolation, anxiety, depression, difficult life events, and self understanding. Research shows that group therapy is as effective - and sometimes more effective - than individual therapy for many mental health or emotional concerns. Group members have the option to re-enroll in group therapy at CAPS each semester.
If you are interested in joining, would like to suggest a group, or just want to hear more about group therapy, reach out to Hilary Hla at hhla1@swarthmore.edu.
Chaotic Families Group
The Chaotic Families group offers students support for managing difficult family relationships and dynamics. Students may find that they resonate with the term “chaotic family” for different reasons, including experiencing significant familial loss or transition, being exposed to abuse, or coming from a family system where individuals suffer from chronic physical or mental illness, including addiction. This group aims to offer a safe space in which students can share experiences, support one another, develop effective communication and boundary-setting skills, and examine the way chaotic family dynamics affect current relationships and sense of self.
Email Hilary Hla, Psy.D. at hhla1@swarthmore.edu to inquire and/or schedule a screening to learn more about the group. Click here to see the flyer for this group.
