Group Counseling
As part of the therapy process, STSM provides psycho-educational, treatment, and support groups for survivors and their family members. Like all of our services, groups are free and confidential. Group facilitators are trained and experienced Master’s level social workers, counselors, graduate students, and other professionals, who are supervised and monitored by Group Services Program. Facilitators hold groups on a weekly basis and at various locations throughout Lexington, Richland, and Newberry counties.
