The ACC Mental Health Counseling team provides counseling groups which vary each semester. Counseling groups bring together people who are going through or have gone through similar experiences. Members with the same issues can come together for sharing coping strategies, to feel more empowered and for a sense of community.

Join us for Homecoming, an online trauma support group bringing together survivors of trauma to explore new strategies for managing trauma related triggers, practice integrating coping skills into day to day practice, and support and learn from other survivors of trauma. With research showing that trauma is less about what happened to you and more about how you and your body reacted to what happened to you, we desire to cultivate a safe space online for ACC students that is free from judgement and self judgement as we grow our compassion for the healing journey of each member in this group, including ourselves.
This group is full and no longer accepting new members.
