Current Research

 

We are currently conducting research on the elements of group process that participants feel are the most helpful for dealing with their particular concerns. Clients complete short questionnaires just following each group session in addition to a brief questionnaire before and after they start the program.

 

In the past we have also conducted research on different interventions to help people overcome past hurtful experiences.
