Support Groups

Support Groups are initiated by individual SCS staff members based on student interest and the staff member’s area of expertise.  Please view the list of current offerings below.  If a student is interested in participating in one of our current groups or has a suggestion for a new group, he or she should call the SCS front desk at (773) 702-9800 and express interest.

The Support Groups offered at SCS vary in number of weeks that they meet and the frequency with which a particular group is offered during the academic year.  Please see Current Group Offerings for more details about a specific group. 

All of the Support Groups have a selection process which usually requires a pre-group interview.  This selection process includes an assessment of an individual’s psychological readiness to participate in a group, the fit with the other group members, and the individual’s ability to positively contribute to the group process.  If a student is not selected for a particular group, SCS will make every effort to find an appropriate group opportunity for the student.
