Social Skills Groups for Tweens and Teens
Kids and Teens Groups: Build social skills and social connection during COVID-19
Our groups, individual therapy and assessment services are now Online via secure video conference. Please learn about our current games groups, which are geared towards building social skills and social connections.
Since COVID-19, it has become more difficult for kids and teens to build social skills and social connections outside of their family members. Groups for kids and teenagers can help, and are more important than ever.
COVID-19 impacts children and teens in many ways, including added worry, greater frustration, more mood fluctuations, intensified irritability, disrupting outbursts, or a sense of isolation. Our groups provide support to children and teenagers, and help them to build connections, gain self-understanding and self-acceptance, and also provide a community of peers and skills to connect with others outside of the home.
Please Contact us with any questions you may have, or you can request to register for a group. We also offer single-session drop-in individual sessions, if you need temporary parent support or short-term help for your child or teen.

As a parent, it can be hard to understand your child’s experiences and provide advice on managing and navigating a social map most people find implicit. Your child may find social situations difficult and stressful, or may sometimes need to guess how to best make social connections with peers or in other situations, such as with a teacher or within the community.
Yet why do it alone? A social group can support your child by providing social skills, communication tools, plus ongoing opportunities for successful social outcomes.
Give us a call—we are here for you!
