"My Family Is Changing!" A Group Helping Children
The separation or divorcing of parents can be a difficult time for all members of a family. Research shows that many children feel anxiety, anger, and/or feelings of depression when their parents separate or divorce and appropriate assistance may be needed to assist youth in developing healthy coping skills. This group will support youth who are coping with separation/divorce in their family by providing a format to share feelings and learn from others going through similar experiences. An experienced therapist will lead group members through activities and structured curriculum, and will facilitate the building of healthier stress-reducing behaviors.

Having a sibling with autism has a number of affects on children.

This group will support children with a sibling with autism by providing a format to share feelings and learn from others going through similar experiences and to assist children in building new, healthier stress-reducing behaviors.
