Social Skills Group Therapy

ABOUT THE THERAPY GROUP

Scott Psychological Centre is introducing a series of 12 weekly sessions in an open group therapy setting. In an open group format, participants are welcomed to join at any session. The objectives of the sessions are to learn adaptive self-soothing and effective interpersonal skills in a safe and validating environment.

Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy that involves a psychologist working in a group setting with persons experiencing similar difficulties. Group therapy offers not only valuable support from other participants experiencing similar challenges, it also offers an opportunity for participants to practise the skills learnt in sessions with other participants. Studies have shown that group therapy can be an effective treatment choice for psychological disorders such as mood disorder, anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and personality disorder.
