Group for Teens with Anxiety

Teen Calm Group

Who

Adolescents in middle and high school who are in need of skills to better manage anxiety and bring calm into their minds and lives.

What

Teen Calm is a psycho-educational group that explores various types of anxiety, the way we feel it in our bodies, and the brain science behind it. Group members will build skills to decrease the overall impact of the stress and anxiety they experience and learn how to prevent it from taking over. Sarah will use a combination of mindfulness, stress reduction, movement, writing, biofeedback, and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to bring about calm and build confidence in each group member.
