Wellness Groups
The T-HELP prorgram (Januray 2019 – December 2020) has ended. You may contact Dr. Christine Costa (PI) from the CSULB School or Nursing at Christine.Costa@csulb.edu if you have questions about this program.
Multiple wellness groups were conducted with participants from California State University, Long Beach, Jordan High School, HOAG Health Center, and the Paramount Community Center. The first four sessions were live in-person group meetings. The last four sessions used a HIPAA compliant version Zoom video conferencing to connect the participants. In an effort to comply with the CA Stay At Home order, all sessions after the quarantine took place online using Zoom video conferencing. Each session was led by PMHNP nurse practitioner students that are licensed, registered nurses and supervised by board certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners. These groups ran for eight weeks each semester.
