Group Counseling varies by the needs of the student body, but most likely will include:

Do you want to learn how to manage stress more effectively and thrive (not just survive) at Bradley and beyond? If so, then join us for the Exploring Wellness at Bradley group. This group consists of a series of four one hour sessions, which includes topics such as; homesickness, social anxiety, coping skills, etc..

Interested in connecting in a deep and meaningful way with other students? Do you struggle or get anxious in social situations? Would you like honest feedback about how you relate to others? This group will provide a safe, supportive space to explore your feelings, connect with others, and practice new behaviors that can ultimately lead to more fulfilling relationships.

In this group, members try to “think out loud” by expressing their thoughts and feelings about what others say or do in group. Members are also encouraged to ask other members for feedback in order to learn more about themselves and how others might perceive them. The main goal is for group members to determine possible changes that might improve their connections and interactions with others and themselves and then begin making these changes. 

Are you tired of struggling with ongoing symptoms and you are looking for some support? This group is designed for participants who struggle with symptoms that have an ongoing impact on some aspect of their functioning (academic, social, occupational, self-care, self-image, etc.). Participants have experienced their symptoms for an extended period of time, or anticipate that their condition will be ongoing (although not necessarily life-long). The purpose of the group is to provide support to students with ongoing mental health concerns, students to give feedback and provide much needed support to one another, discuss strategies for dealing with symptoms, and examine how students can reach their academic and personal goal.

Additional Mental Health Information

If you have a mental health crisis or an emergency that requires immediate medical attention, please call the campus police at 677-2000 to transport the student to the OSF St. Francis Emergency Room or the Methodist Medical Center Emergency Room or call 911 if an ambulance is needed. If it is a crisis that does not need immediate medical attention, call the Bradley Health Services after hours number of 677-3200. This number will connect you with an OSF St. Francis nurse that will obtain the information and then page the on call physician if needed. The physician on call will contact your therapist if this is needed.
