Did You Know?
Group counseling is an opportunity to be in a space where individuals can learn from others and not feel pressured to talk! In group counseling, it is the responsibility of the facilitator to create a safe, confidential space where all members are welcomed. This is something that facilitators take seriously! Group work can be very fulfilling and can lead to a deeper understanding of concerns an individual may have. Don't miss out on an opportunity! You can contact Janell McGruder, JMcGruder@Knox.edu, if you have questions about what to expect in a group. Ask the questions, we don't mind!
DID YOU KNOW? (REPEAT)
There is no problem too big or too small for counseling. Yep! You read that correctly. You can get counseling for whatever you need! Too often people believe that their "problems don't matter" or they will be "taking away time" from another. Not the case. The amount of sessions you receive is based on need and is completely voluntary. It is a sign of health to recognize when you need assistance, and to ask for help. All you have to do is schedule an appointment.
It is easy to schedule an appointment at the Counseling Center! All you have to do is email your class schedule to Vicki Swedlund at VSwedlun@knox.edu and she will get you scheduled or call x7492! How simple is that!
