What measures do you take to ensure the safety and privacy of group sessions?
Safety and privacy are our top priorities. At the beginning of the group, the leaders will review confidentiality and establish ground rules with all participants. If there is concern for a child's safety, their parent or guardian will be notified immediately.
What topics will be covered in the group?
Topics may include healthy relationships, boundaries, self-esteem, assertive communication, emotional regulation, anxiety, body image and more. However, the group leaders like to allow space for participants to bring forward topics that they feel are important to discuss, as well!
