Conscious self- development begins in adolescence. Teenagers experience a huge amount of pressure from school, friends, and society. Most kids in high school become overwhelmed by this at some point- they often struggle with balancing their academic load with social and personal needs. This group focuses on high school social dynamics, academic pressure, and the transitions between grade levels, including moving out of the childhood home. Members have a space to vent and connect with other kids experiencing similar challenges. The group process facilitates social skills practice like deescalating, listening and reflecting, and conflict resolution.
