Group Therapy at The Fuqua Center
Support and education are an important part of treatment for depression.  Group therpay for depressed patients provides a communal experience of counseling, guidance and education that can greatly aid the healing process. In group therapy, a patient expresses his/her  feelings with people who share similar experiences.  A group experience provides an opportunity to improve how we communicate with others, gain a deeper understanding of how others perceive us and how we interpret life events.  There is no better place than a structured group to release all kinds of feelings such as anger, frustration, helplessness, love and compassion. The restoration of meaning in everyday living is an inevitable outcome of a structured group experience. 

Groups offered through the Fuqua Center are designed to explore:

  • The changes and challenges of aging
  • Letting go of self-imposed burdens and hurts
  • Dealing with anger and learning to say no to unreasonable demands
  • Stress and its effects upon the body
  • Taking charge of our lives
  • Being at home in a new place
  • Creating our future
