Adolescent Multifamily Skills Group

90-minute group for teens 13-18 and a parent/caregiver. Caregivers participate just as the teens do to really learn and generalize skills for themselves to be able to change dynamics at home and support their adolescent. Led by an expert skills trainer, we review the 5 modules: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Walking the Middle Path. The skills class encourages participation, though is run like a class and not a process group (for which teens can be hesitant). The group follows the format of: Mindfulness practice, homework review, and skill training/practice.
