CPS Student Life Support Groups – Fall 2009 

Student life support groups generally meet at CPS main facility on 8 Lerner or in one of our residence hall offices. They are available to all students enrolled in the student Health Service Program. Students interested in participating in a student life support group generally meet with the group facilitator individually prior to joining the group in order to discuss their goals, and to make sure the group is right for them.

Please contact group leaders for more information and to schedule an initial group interview, unless otherwise indicated.
