Support groups offer a great way to connect with other students who identify similarly to you or are experiencing similar concerns. You can share experiences in a safe environment, get support, and learn new strategies and skills. SCC clinicians will lead groups that help you feel like you belong, and help you grow in ways that can improve your well-being, mental health, daily effectiveness, and positive feelings about who you are. Support groups are open, so students may start attending at any time. Group members have found that the more they attend, the more benefit they receive.

“College isn’t what I expected.” “Sharing a dorm is a lot different than living at home.” “Getting used to a new routine is throwing me off.” If you’ve found yourself saying things like this, we’re here to help. Join us in this group if you’re finding it a bit difficult to find your rhythm when things change. Connect with other students who are going through the same challenges, share experiences, and receive support. Group leaders will provide strategies for adjusting to new environments, feeling more confident in who you are in this new setting, and trouble-shooting common problem areas.
