Group Counseling

While the campus is online, we will be offering groups over Zoom Monday-Thursday at 12pm.  Students can register for a group session at health.csueastbay.edu.  The Zoom link will be sent out prior to the session to all registered participants.

Groups will teach strategies for students to support themselves, manage their anxiety levels, and develop new coping strategies in this unique time. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday will be Anxiety Toolbox, and Tuesday will be Coping Skills.

We will also have a link to vidoes with some of the group content posted here soon.
