About the Group
Through this 4 week journey, we will work through a blend of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Expressive Art Therapy, and strength-based approaches to explore the universal experiences of being a teen in society today.
We will discuss topics such as managing friendships and relationships, expectations and pressures, the impact of social media on self-esteem and body image, and how to embrace your authentic self. We will explore all of these topics through different activities such as art projects, discovering music, utilizing movement, and of course snacks!
