Group Therapy at MAPP
Group therapy involves open discussion and skill-building activities facilitated by a clinician who helps members of the group with a range of issues. Although engaging in therapy with people you don’t know can seem intimidating, it can help to put your own problems in perspective. Groups act as a support network and sounding board for the challenges you are currently facing and they bring people together who can relate to one another. It can come as a relief to hear others discuss what they are going through and understand that you are not alone.
