Upcoming Group Opportunities

Social Skills Groups

Our social skills and teen groups  are always a lot of fun! They are very interactive and include group discussions, team challenges, games, prizes, but most importantly a chance to connect with others and build social confidence.

During each session, we will review and practice social skills such as: conversation skills, recognizing non-verbal cues, empathy, perspective-taking, and problem-solving. Depending on the needs of the group, we will also discuss relationships and how to manage stress and anxiety. In addition to our structured activities, we will also have game nights which are a great opportunity for the group members to unwind, have fun, and socialize with their peers. During games, we are able to observe them in a more non-structured environment, but can provide them with feedback in the moment when necessary.

College Transition Bootcamp

 According to the latest data, students in their first year of college are particularly vulnerable. Roughly 25% of freshman students will not return for their sophomore year. Students cite a variety of reasons for this which include financial concerns, inability to balance school/work/social life, academic difficulty,  and mental health, just to name a few. The changes they face can be overwhelming and the impact on their life can be significant. 

​

This bootcamp will focus on educating students on what they can expect during the transition, ways to get involved on campus, understanding the resources at their college, problem-solving, social skills, time management, campus safety, mental health warning signs, and coping skills. Many students have anxiety about leaving for college and they will also be able to connect with peers who may be feeling the same way.
