Support Groups
Women's Services and Resources offers several support groups dealing with issues that are of concern to women. These groups are educational in nature and provide a safe place for women to discuss issues that are sensitive and private. Support Groups are intended to be a place of learning, openness, and encouragement where one can gain personal support. Through the group process, a person may learn how to deal with the issue of concern to them and how to give support to someone else struggling with the issue. This is not a therapy group; it is a place to talk and learn.
The current support group we run is the Fed Up with Food support group for women with eating disorders. The group is currently closed, but if you are interested in participating for the Fall 2011 semester, feel free to schedule an intake appointment with us to see if the group is right for you by calling 801.422.4877.
