Group Topics:
Week 1: Anxiety & Stress Basics
What is anxiety, really? How is it different from stress? Teens will learn to recognize the signs of anxiety and understand their unique patterns.
Coping Skills 101: Learn the coping skills that actually work to reduce anxiety vs. the things you may be doing that inadvertently make anxiety worse. Learn how different levels of anxiety need different coping strategies.
Self-Compassion & Self-Esteem: Chronic stress and anxiety take a toll. Reconnecting to self-compassion can be a powerful tool to growth and healing.
Social Issues: Navigating the social scene of teen relationships is already hard, and social situations often exacerbate anxiety. We’ll discuss how social issues impact anxiety and ways to manage social it.
