Support and Counseling Groups

Support and Counseling Groups at Total Life Cares offer individuals a space to learn, connect, and grow alongside others in a supportive and structured group setting. Our groups are designed to provide education, skill-building, and meaningful discussion around specific topics, needs, or shared experiences.

Groups may be accessed as a standalone service or in combination with other behavioral health services, depending on individual goals and preferences. Some individuals choose groups as their primary source of support, while others participate in groups to reinforce skills and insights gained through services such as Individual Counseling, Family Counseling, Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR), Community Psychiatric Supportive Treatment (CPST), or Medication Management.

Group offerings are tailored to specific focus areas and may be offered on a fee basis. Topics and formats may vary throughout the year to reflect community needs and areas of interest.
