Managing Stress & Anxiety Group for Teens
Join us for a supportive 6 week group for teens (ages 13-17) who want to learn practical tools to manage anxiety, improve self-awareness, and build confidence. We’ll use mindfulness, CBT-based tools, and creative activities to help participants feel more in control of their emotions and less overwhelmed by stress. There will be two cohorts for this group, one that will be held in person in our Massapequa Park office and one that will be held virtually.
Each week will focus on a different topic within the overall focus of anxiety and stress. Some topics include facing fears, social anxiety, building a coping skills toolbox, and understanding the mind-body connection in lowering anxiety and stress. These groups will be closed groups of up to 6 group members, meaning that the same participants will attend for the duration of the group and the groups will be kept relatively small. We offer this group in the summer months as a way for teens to learn and practice skills during the summer break from school, so that they may feel more prepared and confident for the school year ahead.
