Group Therapy Offerings for Summer 2026

Starting in June, the CSDC will be offering two different groups. Group therapy offer students a safe and welcoming opportunity to process and share experiences.

Each group will run weekly through July 2026. To participate in the group, students must be currently enrolled at UH Mānoa and available to attend group in person at the CSDC. Students are also asked to participate in all group sessions to receive maximum benefits. Students who are already connected to individual counseling services can enroll in a group by notifying their counselor of their interest in group therapy. Students who are not currently connected to counseling services at the CSDC should contact the CSDC front desk at (808) 956-7927 to schedule a screening appointment. Groups will be closed to new clients once the groups meet enrollment capacity.
