Groups are a powerful adjunct to mental health treatment that often goes overlooked.

 

Groups can be enjoyed alone or in conjunction with individual therapy, and they provide children and adolescents with a healthy context to work through current concerns by sharing positive peer interactions, building relationships, and developing prosocial skills. Groups help youth develop a sense of belonging and cohesiveness through peer connections, feedback, and support.

 
 
 

All child and adolescent groups at Be. are offered in a open format unless specified.

 
 

This means they are open to anyone who fits the age-range specified and feels they may benefit from the area covered. In our groups we aim to establish a trusting and safe environment to allow for each individual to be heard, seen, and valued.
If you have questions on appropriateness based on your child’s needs, please contact us.
