What’s the process for joining?
Interested students should call CAPS at 330-672-2487 to set up a CAPS Consultation appointment. At your appointment, let your clinician know you’re interested in joining a group, and they will provide more information and guide you to the next step, if appropriate. You’ll have a chance to meet with the group leader(s) to talk in more detail about the group so that you know what to expect. This meeting is an opportunity to get all your questions answered and to decide whether USO is a good fit for you.
Is there a cost?
Students recommended for individual or group therapy at CAPS are eligible for up to six covered sessions each academic year. Beyond that, group sessions are billed to insurance. For students who don’t have insurance, CAPS offers self-pay rates. If you have insurance or billing-related questions, you may call CAPS’ main number or ask a CAPS clinician.
What if I see someone I know in the group?
If this uncommon situation should happen, let the group leaders know as soon as possible so that they may address it. The leaders will consult with the group members and decide how to handle the situation based on the circumstances and the preferences of those involved.
What if I feel anxious in groups? Will I be judged or criticized?
It is normal to feel nervous about starting group therapy or to worry about saying the wrong thing - most new group members do. Members almost always find, though, that within a few sessions they start to feel less anxious and more at ease. Keep in mind, too, that the group leaders are there to guide the process and create a safe environment for everyone.
What is a typical USO group like at CAPS?
Each USO group is made up of about 5-8 students and 1-2 group leaders who meet at CAPS for 90 minutes every week for the duration of the semester. Groups start accepting new members at the beginning of each semester, and once they are full, they close until the beginning of the next semester.
Isn’t individual therapy better than group therapy?
Many people are surprised to learn that group therapy is as effective as individual therapy, and for some concerns it is more effective. For example, CAPS’ USO groups can be especially effective for students who have concerns of an interpersonal nature such as social anxiety or relationship concerns.
