Group Format: Closed Group

In a closed group, membership is restricted to participants who meet membership criteria.  The group begins and ends with the same participants.  New members are not permitted to join after the start of the group program.  Closed group format supports an environment of increased privacy and safety for members of the group.  Structured sessions with an established group of participants offers each member a sense of comfort and predictability which allows for a strong sense of connection among group members. ​
