This group is designed to address the developmental needs of younger children, 10-13 years, who are struggling with impulse controls within their school and family. Students generally require IEP supports to make effective academic progress. Social skill development is focused upon from both a school-based and familial perspective. Play therapy techniques, including collaborative movie-making activities, board game play, role-playing games, and psychodramatic techniques are used to help the participants develop their social skills, emotional expression skills, and impulse control. We tend to have a lot of fun while learning more effective ways to function in life.

This Lower-Risk Group is designed to attend to students who are currently in late-middle school or high school and struggle with their learning profiles and overall impulsivity issues secondary to an ADHD diagnoses. A large part of the group discussion emphasizes making healthy life choices, developing more sophisticated learning skills and increased metacognitive skills. The goal is to prevent group members from accelerating to higher-risk behaviors. Participants are more likely to have a history of language-based learning challenges.

The focus of the College/Vocational Transition Group is to orient participants to the organizational and emotional challenges that are typically encountered during their transition to a successful post-high school phase of life. Topics that will are covered in this group include the negotiation of relationships with family members, organizational skill enhancement/use of technology, vocational stability/success, integration of clinical skills into multiple life domains, substance use, and the movement to an increased level of social/familial/financial independence.
