Rejuvenate your relationship with your child
this spring! The purpose of this series is
to give parents a chance to learn and
practice new ways to create a healthier and
happier relationship with their tweens/teens.
It is also a great opportunity for parents
to express their concerns, get their
questions answered, and meet other parents
experiencing similar joys and challenges.
NEW***Tween/Teen Weekly Support Groups
Ongoing weekly
support groups for Tweens (ages 10-13) from
4pm-5pm and Teens (ages 14-17) from 5pm-6pm.
The purpose of these groups is to offer
tweens and teens a safe, non-judgmental,
positive, and relaxing space to share their
thoughts, feelings, and concerns about
anything that is on their minds and going on
in their life. It is also a great place to
meet and make new friends. The underlying
goals of the group are to foster positive
self-esteem and self-confidence, strengthen
communication skills, and empower kids to
achieve their personal and academic dreams.
Participants will engage in creative and
age-appropriate use of games, art, and
dialogue to achieve these goals.
The 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month are the
girls’ groups; The 2nd and 4th Mondays of

Learn effective

Anger is explored in the context of
relationships and tools for improving
relationships will be provided. The goals of
the 10-week program are:
• To increase awareness of anger expression
patterns
• To learn how our anger experience is
shaped by our development and what we can
learn from our family and environment
• To identify current and past situations
that fuel anger
• To identify responsibilities in the
current anger situation that resulted in
either a self or outside referral
• To develop specific ways to de-escalate
potentially violent situations
