Is your teen feeling overwhelmed heading into the winter season? The holidays and winter months bring unique stressors for teens – from comparison and academic pressure, to family expectations and uncertainty about the future.
Our Teen Support Groups offer a consistent, safe, and therapeutic space to build coping skills, self-awareness, emotional resilience, and community connection.
With our Teen Support Group, teens will:
Identify and regulate their emotions
Understand the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors
Gain confidence and self-esteem
Navigate interpersonal relationships and communication
Learn mindfulness and positive coping skills
Explore group role-play and experiential learning
Participate in peer feedback and group processing
Learn tools to better manage comparison, identity pressures, and social media stress
This group is designed for teens who are:
Looking for extra support
Struggling with friendships, mood, school stress, or complicated family dynamics
Wanting a safe place to practice communication and coping skills
Navigating identity and belonging, particularly with the complexities of tech, AI, and social media
Transitioning from higher levels of care (such as PHP or IOP)
