From the cafeteria to the playground to group projects in the classroom, navigating classmates can feel like a nerve-wracking obstacle course. If your child is feeling uncertainty or anxiety around peers at school, this is the group for them! Â
Facilitated by Simply Bee therapist Jocelyn Machain, LSW, this 4-week group will be a place for kids to gain awareness, build self-esteem, connect with others, and learn skills to feel more confident in their social relationships. Group sessions will involve fun relationship building activities and games, mental health education and discussion. Our goal is for kids to walk away feeling empowered, connected and ready to use their skills this school year and beyond!Â
Through this group, 4th-5th graders will:
