Group Services

Trailways Counseling offers several group services throughout the year. At this time you must be enrolled in your county’s Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) program to enroll. Group programs are led virtually or in-person for 8 weeks by 1-2 Trailways Counseling providers. Each session is 1 hour. Attendance ranges from 5-10 consumers.

Groups can act as a support network and a sounding board. Other members of the group often help you come up with specific ideas for improving a difficult situation or life challenge, and hold you accountable along the way. Regularly talking and listening to others also helps you put your own problems in perspective. Many people experience mental health difficulties, but few speak openly about them to people they don't know well. Oftentimes, you may feel like you are the only one struggling — but you're not. It can be a relief to hear others discuss what they're going through, and realize you're not alone.
