Group Activities
Different life experiences can influence our well-being. By participating in group
workshops you have the opportunity to discuss with other students and the
counsellors/therapists various personal and social themes of your choice. Group
work enables a type of interaction that is not possible in one-to-one sessions.
Group interaction helps in addressing emotional distress through mutual sharing
of experiences. Through these sessions, you will also learn to help each other and
to work as a team. Acquiring group communication skills can be beneficial on a
personal and academic level, as well as in your future workplace.
