Groups
All of our groups are led by licensed mental health professionals with various areas of expertise. Counseling & Psychological Services groups are held in-person and virtually. Students must be currently enrolled at CalPolyPomona to attend our groups. Registration is recommended. Please look below for more information on our groups.
Group Counseling
In our closed groups, a small number of people meet together weekly under the guidance of professionally trained therapists to experience growth and change. Group participants can share common problems, safely interact with others, learn about themselves, and help others learn about themselves. Groups form throughout the semester and require a pre-group screening.
Counseling and Psychological Services cannot guarantee confidentiality in our groups. However, we request that all attendees maintain privacy of any information shared during the group. All material shared by the facilitator may not be copied, redistributed, nor published without permission. Audio and/or visual recording of groups is strictly prohibited.
