Research studies that explore the wellness levels of students in graduate programs have increased. However, few of them have expended beyond advocating for wellness to address targeted interventions that improve wellness in graduate counseling programs. The purpose of this session is to present a model of a self-care group program that was created with the goal of developing and maintaining professional identity in professional counseling and related professions and counselor education programs.
