Support and Therapy Groups Being Offered
Counseling Services
The Counseling Center offers several support and therapy groups throughout the year.
The current groups that we are offering are:
Support Groups
LGBTQ Support Group
If you are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning and would like
a place to get support from other LGBTQ folks, join us on Tuesdays from 1-2 in Serrick
Center 218-B. We'll spend our time discussing topics and issues that are relevant
and brought up by the group including: coming out issues, identify formation, navigating
being LGBTQ on DC's campus, dealing with bullying or other forms of abuse/harassment,
and accessing LGBTQ resources. You don't need to register beforehand or commit to
attending each session. We ask participants to respect the rules of the group - these
are available at the beginning of each group but include such things as keeping everything
that is said within the group confidential, respecting the individual situation of
others in the group, and not pressuring anyone into saying anything if they don't
want to. If you have any questions, please contact Lynn Braun at the DC Counseling
Center at 419-783-2548.
Therapy Groups
Times for these groups will be determined after looking at the schedules of those who are interested in attending.

anxiety more effectively so that you can enjoy life more? Would finding ways of reducing
stress improve your focus and school performance? If so, this group is for you. Stress

Connections Group
Do you struggle with perfectionism and fear, never feeling good enough, or feelings
of worthlessness? Would you like to find ways to feel better about yourself, and feel
less disconnected with others? Are you always focused so much on the next accomplishment
that you don't ever get to enjoy the last one? If so, think about coming to Connections
group. Connections group is a 12 week group designed to help people better understand
the sources of perfectionism and shame and practice strategies to reduce these feelings
