Am I Doing This Right? 
A support group for parents braving the elementary school years

Who: This group is open to parents and guardians who are currently raising children in elementary school.

Suicide Loss Bereavement Group

Who: Adult survivors of suicide loss who are age 25 years and older

What: The grief of losing a loved one to suicide creates intense feelings that are often hard to describe to someone that has not experienced a suicide loss. There is often more shock, a greater sense of injustice, guilt, and blame, and a heightened sense of helplessness for people who lose a person to suicide. Peer support can be a critical component for many in navigating this journey to healing.

How: Intake session is required before a new session begins. Please email sjohnson@sentiertherapy.com for more information.

Who: Kids ages 7-10 who want to learn how to calm their bodies and brains.

How: Intake is required before joining the group. Please email sjohnson@sentiertherapy.com for more information.

Finding the Funny: Using Comedy to Explore Emotions

Who: Students from 7th to 12th grade who are curious about using humor as a way to express themselves, process feelings, and connect with others.

What: Participants will engage in a mix of guided comedy writing, group sharing, and improv activities to explore emotions and learn to cope with new experiences. Each session will focus on a theme co-determined by group members and therapist (e.g., self-image, friendships, family dynamics, resilience) and use humor to approach it from multiple angles.
