"Socialization In An Age Of Separation: An Outdoor Therapy Group For Kids Ages 6-9"

This group will support children in their efforts to socialize, make connections, and regulate their emotions. Group will take place outdoors to limit risk of exposure and will not meet if the stormy weather is predicted.

A comfortable and safe place for adults who feel alone or isolated to meet and talk with others experiencing similar feelings. We will facilitate mutual support through encouragement, hopefulness, and companionship.

For more information contact Nina Henry.

This group is for adults who are struggling with personal concerns such as relationship issues, coping with anxiety and depression and self-esteem and can benefit from a psychotherapy group.

Participants are required to undergo a screening process with the group facilitator and to make a minimum commitment to participate in twelve group sessions.

Join other adults to learn tips and tools for finding enjoyment and minimizing the challenges while living with chronic physical illness. Topics may include communicating with healthcare providers, relationships with family and friends, spiritual resources for healing, and living well in times of uncertainty and hardship. The group facilitator will encourage the process of sharing by providing a space for everyone to explore and learn from members of the group.

This group meets every Wednesday from 1 – 2:15pm
