Community-Based Group Psychoeducation for Students

This project is aimed at developing an interdepartmental and international network with the goal of creating academic programming and research for improving individual and collective well-being and resilience of Japanese University Students. First, we are conducting a needs assessment of students, faculty, and staff. Findings will help set a foundation for the development of an evidence-based psychoeducational support group for Japanese universities. Next, we will implement a weekly community-based psychoeducation group with an emphasis on prevention, social support, and skill acquisition that benefits the students, their social networks, the university, and the surrounding community as a whole.
