Adolescents experience unique developmental challenges and are under a LOT of stress! This is especially true today with pandemic-related disruptions to learning and social activities. Our Teen Support Circles are groups for adolescents that provide a safe space for sharing their feelings and experiences with other teens, while learning coping strategies to deal with the many stresses in their lives. Cognitive-behavioral techniques will be practiced such as relaxation, mindfulness, and increased self-awareness to reduce anxious thoughts and feelings. The group format with supportive peers can help normalize experiences, boosting your teen’s self-confidence and social functioning.
