Desire skills for mental health but don’t currently have access to individual therapy Wants better skills for managing their mental health. Enjoys learning from a psychoeducation style/approach. Why Join the Group: Have more than on therapeutic modality informing the group. Many coping skills groups follow one modality (e.g., CBT, DBT) with their group. My preference and style is to incorporate more than one therapeutic modality, as one modality is not going to meet every need or all types of clients. Build connection learning in a group setting. Group work allows the opportunity to build a sense of belonging and shared experience.
