The Secrets of Super Heroes

Have you ever wondered about what makes a hero super? The answer lies in their ability to beat down fear, battle self-sabotage, and surround themselves with good friends. Our Social Skills Group (ages 6-15) will look at these aspects and more in the September-December 2023 group.

This is an experiential therapeutic group that focuses on learning how to navigate social interactions in a positive manner. We have seasoned staff to assist children in learning new ways to relate with peers and form friendships. A typical evening includes the following:

5:00-5:30 p.m. Check in, Eat Together (bring a bag dinner), and Goal Setting
