📣New: Pre-Teen & Early Teen Support Group
We’re excited to introduce a new Pre-Teen & Early Teen Support Group designed to support youth in grades 7 & 8 (ages 12-14) as they navigate the transition into adolescence. This developmental period brings rapid physical, emotional, cognitive, and relational changes that can feel confusing or overwhelming for kids and parents alike. The group will offer a supportive, age-appropriate space for participants to build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and peer connection, while normalizing the challenges that come with this stage of growth. Through discussion and interactive activities, the group aims to help tweens and teens to feel more confident and understood during this important transition.

Life naturally slows down during the colder months, and this can impact everyone to different degrees. As the days get shorter, the light becomes scarce, and many of us respond by avoiding the elements. We more often find ourselves in front of the TV or snuggled under the covers to stay warm – the human version of hibernating. Some people embrace the season’s quiet and coziness, while others experience a significant change in mood and behavior. If you find yourself feeling different and struggling more significantly during the winter months, it’s important to consider that you might be dealing with Seasonal Affective Disorder.
