UW Counseling Center – WIN21 Mental Health Groups and Opportunities

Posted on by

The UW Counseling Center if offering an increased number of mental health groups in WIN21 along with their individual mental health resources.

This past quarter, the UW Counseling Center found that students were hungry for groups.  Whereas they needed to convince students that groups were a great treatment option in the past, last fall, students were the ones calling us asking for group options. So, UW is offering more groups. Attached is a list of the various offerings by day of the week:

  1. Therapy groups that require that the students commit to attending the group, indicated by “referral needed.”
  2. Drop-in groups and workshop series.
  3. Let’s Talk, for consultation with a counselor.

For more detailed group listings, go here or check out our Instagram page: @uwcounseling

As a reminder, during the pandemic, students have the option of using My SSP (My Student Support Program) for consultation with a counselor. You can do that  here.
