It can help individual family members build stronger relationships, improve communication, and manage conflicts within the family system. By improving how family members interact and relate to one another, family therapy can foster change in close relationships.

Group therapy is beneficial for addressing many mental health issues and coping with life transitions. Therapy groups can act as a support network and a sounding board. Group members often help you come up with specific ideas for improving a difficult situation or life challenge and hold you accountable along the way. Regularly talking and listening to others also helps you put your own problems in perspective. It can be a relief to hear others discuss what they are going through and realize that you are not alone. By seeing how other people tackle problems and make positive changes, you can discover a whole range of strategies for facing your own concerns.
