Child and Adolescent Groups |
| Social Skills Groups |
Social skills groups for children teach social and emotional skill development, cooperation and improve self-esteem. Fun interactive activities provide an opportunity for children to practice their newly acquired skills and gain confidence in interacting with others.
|
| Anxiety and Stress Management |
The stress management program for children is a relaxing and enjoyable group experience which utilizes cognitive behavioral approaches, Yoga, Tai Chi and other Eastern Disciplines to help children effectively manage and reduce the effects of stress and anxiety.
|
| Adolescent Anger Management |
Adolescents will learn how to gain control of their anger by identifying what triggers their powerful emotions and learn anger management techniques. Group members will also learn productive and acceptable ways to express their feelings.
|
Play Therapy |
Play therapy gives children the opportunity to work through problems using their natural mode of communication and expression -- play. Even when they may not have the ability to articulate verbally, the process helps the child to express underlying feelings and issues at an emotional level and can assist with diagnoses and treatment of many childhood problems. Materials and techniques include clay, paint, sand tray, games, and storytelling.
