Group counseling is often the most beneficial option for addressing many student concerns. At CAPS, we are committed to meeting the evolving needs of our student community. While our current list of therapy and support groups reflect existing offerings, we are continually assessing student interest and mental health trends. If you don’t see a group that meets your needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out—new groups may be added throughout the year based on demand and student feedback.
CAPS group services are free and unlimited. All groups are open to all currently enrolled UNC Charlotte students who are eligible for services. Groups do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation or any other protected status listed in University Policy: 501.
The groups listed below will meet throughout the semester and typically consist of 5-10 students. To participate in the group, students must attend an initial consultation at CAPS to discuss their goals and needs. Please call CAPS at (704) 687-0311 or come to the CAPS building (Price Center) for this initial consultation.
Please check individual group descriptions for more information and email caps@charlotte.edu with any questions.

These therapy groups are designed for students who are interested in understanding themselves and their relationship patterns, learning to communicate more effectively with others, and gaining support and feedback from peers. Through building a caring, supportive, and collaborative environment, these groups help members learn more about the ways they interact with others, while also developing greater self-awareness and a healthy self-concept.
The community drop-in spaces below provide monthly, drop-in support for students with shared experiences. These drop-in spaces do not require any registration or prior contact with CAPS. Simply show up at the designated in-person location.
