Teen Girls Support Group

As a parent of a teenage girl, you may recognize that this is a difficult period in which a lot of anxiety and emotions come up relating to friendships, school, and extracurricular activities. 

In our Teen Girls Anxiety Group, we hope to foster a sense of community between the girls and develop a safe space for the girls to connect with, relate to and open up about similar experiences and specifically discuss their feelings of anxiety in various situations. We will help your child better understand and learn to control anxiety, rather than anxiety having control over them. 

In addition, we will be discussing topics such as self-perception/other-perception; conflict within friendships; influence of peers; differentiation in friendships (difference between what my beliefs are and what friends beliefs are); helpful vs. poor coping behaviors, comparison; social media and how image is portrayed, and academic/extracurricular stress.

If you are interested in having your teen joining this group and they are between the ages of 13-16 years old, please sign up for your free group screening today. In this meeting you and your child will have the chance to meet with one of the group facilitators, learn more about the group, ask any questions you may have about the group, and share your hopes and goals for your teen. It is our goal that at the end of the group screening you will have a better sense of the group and be able to determine if this group is the right fit for your teen!
