Art Wellness Group

Support groups are offered as a space where individuals can come together to share their stories, experiences, and lives in a way that helps reduce isolation and loneliness. Oftentimes, we think we are struggling alone, but support groups help us see that there are others who may dealing with similar situations and who in turn can help us get better.

In closed therapy groups, there is a trusted individual (e.g. therapist, counselor, social worker, etc.) who is in charge of approving who becomes a part of the group itself and mediates the discussion topics that are brought up throughout the course of the group’s meetings.

Closed groups provide individuals with a sense of intimacy, as well as a sense of validity because they know that the other people who engage in the group have struggle with legitimate concerns that are similar to their own; concerns that they can relate to.
