Groups for teens are a natural extension of their peer group and the safe, confidential environment in group helps kids to see that they are not alone, feel comfortable expressing their feelings and have a sense of hope that they can go on with their lives. Research shows that when teens don't have a safe outlet to express their feelings, deal with family changes and cope with stress, there is a higher likelihood of depression, substance use and school problems. The teen groups typically last for 12 weeks; a small investment of time compared to lifelong problems that can result when kids don't have support! Not sure if your child needs counseling?
