Group Therapy
Group Therapy for Mood & Anxiety Disorders
Group therapy is an effective form of treatment for many mental health issues. Group therapy is sometimes called:
- Group psychotherapy
- Group cognitive-behavioral therapy
- Skills training groups
- Support groups
- Psycho-educational groups
UI Health offers group therapy that may be short-term, long-term or open-ended. The following groups are currently under way:
Symptom Management Group
Wednesdays, 3–4 pm
This group is for patients with chronic illnesses, such as schizoaffective, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder. The focus is on symptom identification and management using a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy in a recovery process. Members learn to better manage symptoms, improve functioning, and develop social skills. Participation is ideal for patients transitioning to the Community Reintegration Program or other Intensive Outpatient Program.
