There are various types of groups, such as processed, focus/peer support, psychoeducation and psychotherapy (See below for more details). Groups are consisted of four or more members that have similar challenges or situations (i.e. drugs, parenting, DV, trauma, gender issues, etc.).  The group members will meet with clinician/s in a structured environment to engage in a safe and comfortable setting. Typically, the groups are on-going. However there are closed groups as well. Some of the group members that attend groups may also be seen at RCC on an individual basis.  A characteristic unique to support groups is the mutual support members that are able to provide one another. This support and validation from other group members help to facilitate personal growth and changes in a way that individual therapy cannot. Although experts and professionals can provide support and positive direction, the mutual exchange of information between group members is a powerful experience that often induces lasting change.

Psychoeducation:

Psychoeducation group is focused on providing you with information about specific topics in order to give you additional resources or information. These groups are more structured; participants are provided with specific topics or modules to discuss and explore. The intention is to enhance your knowledge about the topic, which is often identified in the name of the group. A psycho-educational group is a specific type of group therapy that focuses on educating clients about their disorders and ways of coping. Many psycho-educational groups consist of members that all share some of the same diagnosis. In this case, the education tends to focus on coping with specific or similar disorders. In other groups, members may have very different diagnoses, and the educational focus is on practical life skills such as living within a community. There are specific formats for certain types of psycho-educational groups, but many follow a more free-form, eclectic approach.

Focus/Support:

Support groups provide an informal resource that attempts to provide healing components to a variety of problems and challenges. This is an informal support outside of family, friends, or professionals often provides greater understanding, more similarity (from individuals experiencing similar life events), an opportunity for empathy and altruism, and a sense of identity for participants. Learning new ways to handle challenges, cope with changes, and maintaining  new behaviors are all important aspects of the support group experience.
