Anxiety Coping Skills Group
- Recognizing anxious feelings and physical reactions to anxiety
- Clarifying thoughts and feelings in anxious situations
- Developing plans for effective coping
- Evaluating performance and giving self-reinforcement
The group is open to children in grades 6-8. (If a majority of those signed up are in older or younger grades, those in outlying grades may be asked to wait until the next session to participate.) The fee for the entire ten-week group is only $40 for residents and $120 for non-residents (space permitting) and includes a workbook for participants and a parent companion guide. Parents are also encouraged to attend two separate parent meetings (held during week one and again halfway through the group) to learn about what will be covered during the group and how they can provide additional support to their child.
The next session will meet from 5:15-6 pm on Tuesdays at the Maine Township Town Hall from 9/17/24-12/10/24 (no group on 10/29, 11/5, or 11/26).There are only 10 spots available in this group.
