Session Times Vary Throughout the Year.
Women's Self-Esteem Building Group
This popular and effective group utilizes the proven format developed by David Burns M.D. Members of this group support each other, as they learn to use cognitive therapy principles to replace the thoughts, feelings, and lifestyle patterns that undermine self-esteem and foster depression. Discovering strengths and learning new ways to manage thoughts and feelings lead to new successes and an improved self-image.
Preteens' Emotional Intelligence Group
This is a group for fourth, fifth, and sixth graders, whose behavior is getting them in trouble. The group setting makes it possible to go beyond just talking about managing anger and handling social situations more effectively. We bring things down to a practical level by setting up the kinds of situations that bring out problems, and then role-play alternative ways to handle these situations. Each session will include some ideas from the leader, some discussion, and some practice in role-play situations.
