Scheduling and Further Information
Joining the emotional and social skills development group always begins with a preliminary consultation. During this, we discuss the child’s situation, challenges in emotional and social skills, and the family’s needs. During the sessions, children can explore and practice emotion recognition, anxiety-reduction, and anger-management techniques in a playful, group-based, and animal-assisted setting, ensuring that the support is targeted and effective.
Inquiries can be made via any of the following email addresses.
How Can It Help?
We welcome children to our group who face challenges in understanding and managing emotions. The group sessions focus on navigating social situations, identifying and regulating emotions, and practicing anxiety- and anger-management techniques.
If your child is anxious, has difficulty managing their emotions, or feels uncertain in social situations, this group can help them.
Animal-assisted sessions are also integrated into the program.
