If you are interested, please reach out to <a href="mailto:sccgroups@utdallas.edu">sccgroups@utdallas.edu</a> with your availability, and group will begin once we have enough students and a time/day is chosen.</p>

<p>SPARK Femmes is a supportive and nonjudgmental meeting place for woman/femmes who are questioning or struggling with the ways they engage with sex and/or pornography. This group will hold space for students to process their concerns, define healthy sex for themselves, and build tools to help navigate distress. Whether this is an issue that’s recently come up or is something you have navigated for a long time, this group can help meet you where you are.</p>

<p>Process groups are focused on the exploration and open processing and discussion of participants. Process groups are led by one of our therapists and typically more open-ended and less structured around a specific lesson or topic for the day. Clients are required to complete a group screening to assess whether the group matches their needs and interest.</p>

<p>For process groups, if you are not a current or recent client, please make an appointment to get started and note your interest in group therapy. You’ll complete intake paperwork and have a 30-minute “IC” (individual consultation) with one of our therapists, and then get scheduled for a brief screening meeting with the group’s leader.</p>

<p>If you are a current or recent client, reach out to our Groups &amp; Workshops Coordinator at <a href="mailto:sccgroups@utdallas.edu">sccgroups@utdallas.edu</a> to schedule a screening meeting.</p>

<p>To join, simply click the Comet Calendar link at the start time. If you’d like reminders and an easier check-in, you can also message us at <a href="mailto:sccgroups@utdallas.edu">sccgroups@utdallas.edu</a> to be added to the roster.</p>

<p>Our workshops provide education and practical tools for managing common mental health concerns, similar to a training or class. Even though they are led by one of our therapists, workshops are not the same as therapy groups, as they are focused on learning and practicing skills rather than in-depth therapeutic process. All workshops are open to UTD students, and no group screening is required.</p>

Group members will also learn skills for increasing motivation to complete necessary tasks to be successful in college and life. The group will also serve as a support group for individuals who have been formally diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or for individuals who believe they are experiencing symptoms consistent with ADHD.</p>

<p>Hybrid skills/process groups are focused on the exploration and open processing and discussion of participants. Hybrid skills/process groups are led by one of our therapists and typically more open-ended and less structured around a specific lesson or topic for the day, though new skills and strategies are often a topic of discussion. Clients are required to complete a group screening to assess whether the group matches their needs and interest.</p>

Crafting is often a relaxing and satisfying creative outlet, but it also provides wealth to mental health! We will unravel real or metaphorical knots in our lives together through crochet as a way to build coping skills and community. All skill levels welcome! The rhythmic, repetitive motions of crochet can help reduce stress, redirect attention away from negative thought loops, encourage self-exploration, and mindfulness.</p>

<p>To join, simply arrive a few minutes before the start time. If you’d like reminders and an easier check-in, you can also message us at <a href="mailto:sccgroups@utdallas.edu">sccgroups@utdallas.edu</a> to be added to the roster.</p>

<p>These groups provide an opportunity for support from others who hold similar identities or life experiences. Participation is open and drop-in style, meaning members do not have to be current clients of the Student Counseling Center, and you may attend meetings as often or as seldom as you like. Support groups are open to all UTD students, and no group screening is required. Please note support groups are not the same as therapy groups in that they are more focused on building community and peer support guided by one of our therapists than in-depth therapeutic intervention.</p>

<p>These groups provide an opportunity for support from others who hold similar identities or life experiences. Participation is open and drop-in style, meaning members do not have to be current clients of the Student Counseling Center, and you may attend meetings as often or as seldom as you like. Support groups are open to all UTD students, and no group screening is required. Please note support groups are not the same as therapy groups in that they are more focused on building community and peer support guided by one of our therapists than in-depth therapeutic intervention.</p>

<p>SPARK Femmes is a supportive and nonjudgmental meeting place for woman/femmes who are questioning or struggling with the ways they engage with sex and/or pornography. This group will hold space for students to process their concerns, define healthy sex for themselves, and build tools to help navigate distress. Whether this is an issue that’s recently come up or is something you have navigated for a long time, this group can help meet you where you are.</p>

<p>Process groups are focused on the exploration and open processing and discussion of participants. Process groups are led by one of our therapists and typically more open-ended and less structured around a specific lesson or topic for the day. Clients are required to complete a group screening to assess whether the group matches their needs and interest.</p>

<p>For process groups, if you are not a current or recent client, please make an appointment to get started and note your interest in group therapy.

If you are interested, please reach out to <a href="mailto:sccgroups@utdallas.edu">sccgroups@utdallas.edu</a> with your availability, and group will begin once we have enough students and a time/day is chosen.</p>

<p>SPARK Femmes is a supportive and nonjudgmental meeting place for woman/femmes who are questioning or struggling with the ways they engage with sex and/or pornography. This group will hold space for students to process their concerns, define healthy sex for themselves, and build tools to help navigate distress. Whether this is an issue that’s recently come up or is something you have navigated for a long time, this group can help meet you where you are.</p>

<p>Process groups are focused on the exploration and open processing and discussion of participants. Process groups are led by one of our therapists and typically more open-ended and less structured around a specific lesson or topic for the day. Clients are required to complete a group screening to assess whether the group matches their needs and interest.</p>

<p>For process groups, if you are not a current or recent client, please make an appointment to get started and note your interest in group therapy. You’ll complete intake paperwork and have a 30-minute “IC” (individual consultation) with one of our therapists, and then get scheduled for a brief screening meeting with the group’s leader.</p>

<p>If you are a current or recent client, reach out to our Groups &amp; Workshops Coordinator at <a href="mailto:sccgroups@utdallas.edu">sccgroups@utdallas.edu</a> to schedule a screening meeting.</p>

<p>Our workshops provide education and practical tools for managing common mental health concerns, similar to a training or class. Even thought they are led by one of our therapists, workshops are not the same as therapy groups, as they are focused on learning and practicing skills rather than in-depth therapeutic process. All workshops are open to UTD students, and no group screening is required.</p>

Crafting is often a relaxing and satisfying creative outlet, but it also provides wealth to mental health! We will unravel real or metaphorical knots in our lives together through crochet as a way to build coping skills and community. All skill levels welcome! The rhythmic, repetitive motions of crochet can help reduce stress, redirect attention away from negative thought loops, encourage self-exploration, and mindfulness.</p>

<p>To join, simply arrive a few minutes before the start time. If you’d like reminders and an easier check-in, you can also message us at <a href="mailto:sccgroups@utdallas.edu">sccgroups@utdallas.edu</a> to be added to the roster.</p>

<p>These groups provide an opportunity for support from others who hold similar identities or life experiences. Participation is open and drop-in style, meaning members do not have to be current clients of the Student Counseling Center, and you may attend meetings as often or as seldom as you like. Support groups are open to all UTD students, and no group screening is required. Please note support groups are not the same as therapy groups in that they are more focused on building community and peer support guided by one of our therapists than in-depth therapeutic intervention.</p>

<p>SPARK Femmes is a supportive and nonjudgmental meeting place for woman/femmes who are questioning or struggling with the ways they engage with sex and/or pornography. This group will hold space for students to process their concerns, define healthy sex for themselves, and build tools to help navigate distress. Whether this is an issue that’s recently come up or is something you have navigated for a long time, this group can help meet you where you are.</p>

<p>Process groups are focused on the exploration and open processing and discussion of participants. Process groups are led by one of our therapists and typically more open-ended and less structured around a specific lesson or topic for the day. Clients are required to complete a group screening to assess whether the group matches their needs and interest.</p>

<p>For process groups, if you are not a current or recent client, please make an appointment to get started and note your interest in group therapy. You’ll complete intake paperwork and have a 30-minute “IC” (individual consultation) with one of our therapists, and then get scheduled for a brief screening meeting with the group’s leader.</p>

Clients are required to complete a group screening to assess whether the group matches their needs and interest.</p>

<p>For Hybrid skills/process groups, if you are not a current or recent client, please make an appointment to get started and note your interest in group therapy. You’ll complete intake paperwork and have a 30-minute “IC” (individual consultation) with one of our therapists, and then get scheduled for a brief screening meeting with the group’s leader.</p>

<p>If you are a current or recent client, reach out to our Groups &amp; Workshops Coordinator at <a href="mailto:sccgroups@utdallas.edu">sccgroups@utdallas.edu</a> to schedule a screening meeting.</p>

Each week we’ll explore a topic through different art mediums to build compassion and center joy. All skill levels are welcome! </p>

<p>You may choose to attend part or all of each workshop series, as your schedule allows.</p>

<p>To join, simply arrive at SSB 4.600 a few minutes before the start time. If you’d like reminders and an easier check-in, you can also message us at <a href="mailto:sccgroups@utdallas.edu">sccgroups@utdallas.edu</a> to be added to the roster.</p>

<p>Our workshops provide education and practical tools for managing common mental health concerns, similar to a training or class. Even though they are led by one of our therapists, workshops are not the same as therapy groups, as they are focused on learning and practicing skills rather than in-depth therapeutic process. All workshops are open to UTD students, and no group screening is required.</p>

<p>SPARK Femmes is a supportive and nonjudgmental meeting place for woman/femmes who are questioning or struggling with the ways they engage with sex and/or pornography.

Crafting is often a relaxing and satisfying creative outlet, but it also provides wealth to mental health! We will unravel real or metaphorical knots in our lives together through crochet as a way to build coping skills and community. All skill levels welcome! The rhythmic, repetitive motions of crochet can help reduce stress, redirect attention away from negative thought loops, encourage self-exploration, and mindfulness.</p>

<p>To join, simply arrive a few minutes before the start time. If you’d like reminders and an easier check-in, you can also message us at <a href="mailto:sccgroups@utdallas.edu">sccgroups@utdallas.edu</a> to be added to the roster.</p>

<p>These groups provide an opportunity for support from others who hold similar identities or life experiences. Participation is open and drop-in style, meaning members do not have to be current clients of the Student Counseling Center, and you may attend meetings as often or as seldom as you like. Support groups are open to all UTD students, and no group screening is required. Please note support groups are not the same as therapy groups in that they are more focused on building community and peer support guided by one of our therapists than in-depth therapeutic intervention.</p>

<p>SPARK Femmes is a supportive and nonjudgmental meeting place for woman/femmes who are questioning or struggling with the ways they engage with sex and/or pornography.

<p>Process groups are focused on the exploration and open processing and discussion of participants.

Clients are required to complete a group screening to assess whether the group matches their needs and interest.</p>

<p>For process groups, if you are not a current or recent client, please make an appointment to get started and note your interest in group therapy.

Each week we’ll explore a topic through different art mediums to build compassion and center joy. All skill levels are welcome! </p>

<p>You may choose to attend part or all of each workshop series, as your schedule allows.</p>

<p>To join, simply arrive at SSB 4.600 a few minutes before the start time. If you’d like reminders and an easier check-in, you can also message us at <a href="mailto:sccgroups@utdallas.edu">sccgroups@utdallas.edu</a> to be added to the roster.</p>

<p>Our workshops provide education and practical tools for managing common mental health concerns, similar to a training or class. Even though they are led by one of our therapists, workshops are not the same as therapy groups, as they are focused on learning and practicing skills rather than in-depth therapeutic process. All workshops are open to UTD students, and no group screening is required.</p>

<p>Our workshops provide education and practical tools for managing common mental health concerns, similar to a training or class. Even though they are led by one of our therapists, workshops are not the same as therapy groups, as they are focused on learning and practicing skills rather than in-depth therapeutic process. All workshops are open to UTD students, and no group screening is required.</p>

<p>SPARK Femmes is a supportive and nonjudgmental meeting place for woman/femmes who are questioning or struggling with the ways they engage with sex and/or pornography. This group will hold space for students to process their concerns, define healthy sex for themselves, and build tools to help navigate distress. Whether this is an issue that’s recently come up or is something you have navigated for a long time, this group can help meet you where you are.</p>

<p>Process groups are focused on the exploration and open processing and discussion of participants. Process groups are led by one of our therapists and typically more open-ended and less structured around a specific lesson or topic for the day. Clients are required to complete a group screening to assess whether the group matches their needs and interest.</p>

<p>For process groups, if you are not a current or recent client, please make an appointment to get started and note your interest in group therapy.

Crafting is often a relaxing and satisfying creative outlet, but it also provides wealth to mental health! We will unravel real or metaphorical knots in our lives together through crochet as a way to build coping skills and community. All skill levels welcome! The rhythmic, repetitive motions of crochet can help reduce stress, redirect attention away from negative thought loops, encourage self-exploration, and mindfulness.</p>

<p>To join, simply arrive a few minutes before the start time. If you’d like reminders and an easier check-in, you can also message us at <a href="mailto:sccgroups@utdallas.edu">sccgroups@utdallas.edu</a> to be added to the roster.</p>

<p>These groups provide an opportunity for support from others who hold similar identities or life experiences. Participation is open and drop-in style, meaning members do not have to be current clients of the Student Counseling Center, and you may attend meetings as often or as seldom as you like. Support groups are open to all UTD students, and no group screening is required. Please note support groups are not the same as therapy groups in that they are more focused on building community and peer support guided by one of our therapists than in-depth therapeutic intervention.</p>

If you are interested, please reach out to <a href="mailto:sccgroups@utdallas.edu">sccgroups@utdallas.edu</a> with your availability, and group will begin once we have enough students and a time/day is chosen.</p>

<p>SPARK Femmes is a supportive and nonjudgmental meeting place for woman/femmes who are questioning or struggling with the ways they engage with sex and/or pornography. This group will hold space for students to process their concerns, define healthy sex for themselves, and build tools to help navigate distress. Whether this is an issue that’s recently come up or is something you have navigated for a long time, this group can help meet you where you are.</p>

<p>Process groups are focused on the exploration and open processing and discussion of participants. Process groups are led by one of our therapists and typically more open-ended and less structured around a specific lesson or topic for the day. Clients are required to complete a group screening to assess whether the group matches their needs and interest.</p>

<p>For process groups, if you are not a current or recent client, please make an appointment to get started and note your interest in group therapy. You’ll complete intake paperwork and have a 30-minute “IC” (individual consultation) with one of our therapists, and then get scheduled for a brief screening meeting with the group’s leader.</p>

<p>If you are a current or recent client, reach out to our Groups &amp; Workshops Coordinator at <a href="mailto:sccgroups@utdallas.edu">sccgroups@utdallas.edu</a> to schedule a screening meeting.</p>

<p>To join, simply click the Comet Calendar link at the start time. If you’d like reminders and an easier check-in, you can also message us at <a href="mailto:sccgroups@utdallas.edu">sccgroups@utdallas.edu</a> to be added to the roster.</p>

<p>Our workshops provide education and practical tools for managing common mental health concerns, similar to a training or class. Even thought they are led by one of our therapists, workshops are not the same as therapy groups, as they are focused on learning and practicing skills rather than in-depth therapeutic process. All workshops are open to UTD students, and no group screening is required.</p>
