Teen and Adolescent Social Anxiety Support Group (Ages 16-25 years)

Has your teen or adolescent been struggling with social anxiety since the pandemic? We are here to support them! This group will offer members a chance to enjoy a weekly social opportunity to enhance confidence and skills in a safe, non-judgemental, calm, and positive space alongside others with similar stressors or difficulties.

Although a social group seems opposite to what most members might feel motivated or comfortable being a part of, research has shown that regular exposure is an important and effective therapeutic intervention necessary to help combat these types of problems. Everyone will be outside their comfort zone a little bit, and that’s we get stronger! We can work on becoming comfortable together through the power of common humanity, empathy, unconditional positive regard, connection, and a strong sense of belonging. No one will be pushed outside of their limits and Erin will call each member in advance to determine how to meet their needs appropriately. This means, if someone simply wants to come in the room and not speak at first, that is perfectly okay! If they are ready to write things down on paper, and have someone else read out their thoughts, no problem. If someone wishes to join by Zoom at first, that works too! We will ensure each person feels adequately supported.

Wednesdays from 4:30 – 6:30pm for 4-weeks
Cost: $200.00 total
Space for 8-10!
