Social Connection & Skills Group

Description:

We're trying something new!

​

A lot of our clients have told us they want a place, simply to meet others, have meaningful conversations, talk and learn from one another, and grow.  An opportunity to meet with others in a safe group setting.  Not just a special interest group, not just a peer support group, not just a therapy group, not just AA.  More like an organic group that moves with the needs of its members.  A facilitated group with no other specific focus other than to connect learn skills, support, and grow together.

​​

We'll start this off as a 5-week group, meeting Wednesdays from 5:30-7pm at our Downtown clinic.  If there is interest in continuing on, we'll see where it takes us!  

​​

Details

Ages: This group is open to members 19-35.  We may open a group for those aged 36+ at a later date.

​

The groups will be part process group and part psychoeducation group. 

Our hope is to have consistent attendance. 

We'd ask that all attendees please commit to attending all 5 sessions, if possible, so we can build some cohesion and consistency.

​

Dates/Times:  Wednesdays at 5:30-7pm, starting Sept 30.

​

Fees:  $35 per session.  Note that fees for this group are payable per session, and may be eligible for reimbursement or direct billing for extended health insurers (please verify eligibility if important).

​

The group will be facilitated by:
