In group therapy, trained clinicians work with multiple individuals in a safe, non-judgemental setting in order to meet goals both shared and unique to each group member. A group’s focus can vary widely, with topics such as relationship skills, trauma healing, recovery support and more, and the benefits of a group setting are vast. Support and understanding from mental health professionals and peers, gaining skills such as communication and self expression, working through emotions, and social interaction are just a few of the many advantages. Group therapy is an integral part of numerous treatment plans for a reason, and many clients find that it makes a huge difference in their mental health and daily lives.
