<\/span><\/div>May is recognized nationally as Mental Health Awareness Month<\/a>, a time dedicated to raising awareness, reducing stigma and encouraging people of all ages to prioritize their emotional well-being.<\/h4>\n\n\u00a0In recognition of this important observance, Kenosha Community Health Center (KCHC) and Pillar Health are highlighting the success and growth of their Group Therapy Program, launched in October 2025.<\/span><\/p>\nGroup therapy is a proven, evidence-based form of treatment led by licensed mental health professionals, allowing participants to learn with and from others who share similar experiences. Research shows that group therapy is as effective as individual therapy while offering added benefits of connection, insight and community support.<\/span><\/p>\nSince its launch, the KCHC\/Pillar Health Group Therapy Program has offered a wide variety of therapeutic group topics, including:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Healthy Boundaries, focusing on communication skills, coping strategies and boundary-setting tools<\/span><\/li>\n
- Grief Therapy, providing culturally responsive support for adults navigating loss<\/span><\/li>\n
- New Year, New You, emphasizing self-care, time management, goal-setting and healthy habit development<\/span><\/li>\n
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), helping participants manage strong emotions and build healthier coping skills<\/span><\/li>\n
- Overcoming Anxiety, exploring the mind-body connection and somatic strategies to manage anxiety and panic<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Participants have consistently shared positive feedback about their experiences. One patient noted, \u201cThe group sessions were very helpful, providing clarity, support in setting healthier boundaries and insight into better choices. Hearing others\u2019 experiences helped reveal blind spots and created a strong sense of community and understanding.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nAnother participant from the Grief Therapy Group shared, \u201cThis grief support group provided a safe, comforting space where I felt understood and supported by others who were walking a similar path. The resources and tools shared helped me between sessions, and the experience encouraged me to continue my healing through individual therapy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\nBuilding on this momentum, KCHC and Pillar Health will launch a new group on May 11, 2026, titled Navigating Relational Conflict. This group is grounded in the book How to Feel Loved<\/i> by Sonja Lyubomirsky and Harry Reis and explores five essential relational mindsets: Sharing, Listening to Learn, Radical Curiosity, Open Heart and Multiplicity.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\nAdditional group therapy topics currently being considered include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Stress Management and Reduction<\/span><\/li>\n
