Anxiety 101: Group for Teens
Anxiety is skyrocketing for our Bay Area teens. We want to help change that.
We are so excited to launch a 4-week anxiety coping group for teens to help meet the need of growing anxiety. This group is designed to offer teaching & skills to understand and manage anxiety. Each week the therapist will offer some brief insight and skills connected to 4 different topics related to anxiety and stress.
The 4-week group offers some foundational skills for emotional resilience in the face of anxiety & stress.
Group Topics:
Anxiety & Stress Basics: What Is Anxiety? How is anxiety different than stress? Understanding how and when anxiety shows up for you.
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.
