Feathers & Flight
Teen and young adult Group
SESSION: Wednesdays 4pm–6pm | May 28–July 2
For teens and young adults, this summer session includes one meeting at our clinic followed by one outing the following week. The outing will be decided upon by the group in week 1 from a list of options. We will focus on developing conversational skills (active listening, clear communication, etc.), functional life skills (safety, problem solving, stress management, etc.), and social skills (understanding social cues, navigating social situations, etc.). This great 2-part offering will empower participants by first discussing and practicing skills in a controlled environment and then putting those skills into real-world action among a group of their peers.
Cost: $275 / session
