Middle school can feel overwhelming. Friend drama. Group chats. Comparison. Social media. Wanting to belong but not knowing how.

If your daughter struggles with anxiety, low self-esteem, or navigating friendships, she’s not alone — and she doesn’t have to figure it out by herself.

Introducing ROOTED: A Confidence & Connection Group for 6th–8th Grade Girls.

ROOTED is a 7-week therapy group designed to help middle school girls build real confidence, manage anxiety, and create authentic friendships in a safe and supportive space.

Through guided conversations, interactive activities, and evidence-based skills, girls will learn how to:

✨ Manage anxious thoughts
✨ Build self-confidence
✨ Navigate friendship challenges
✨ Set healthy boundaries
✨ Stop overthinking social situations
✨ Strengthen emotional regulation
✨ Feel more secure in who they are

This is not just a “talk about your feelings” group. It’s a place to grow, laugh, connect, and build lasting skills.

Because confidence isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about feeling rooted in who you are.

When anxiety feels intense, or the overwhelm hits, it's ok to pause and reset.

In that moment, you (usually) don't need more problem solving. Instead, remind your body that you are safe and you can get through this.

It's not about forcing toxic positivity. It's about grounding yourself in the present and finding more helpful thoughts to stop the spiral and help you through this difficult moment.

What helps you feel more grounded in hard moments?

We are honored to provide mental health therapy to teens in our community made possible by the KIT Fund and the generous support of the Kiwanis Club of Troy MI—and the incredible partnership of our local school district! 💛

This fund helps students facing trauma, anxiety, or depression access timely, school-linked counseling—giving them the care they deserve when they need it most.

Thank you, Kiwanis, for supporting our community’s youth!

Troy Kiwanis Foundation recently presented a check for the KIT (Kiwanis Inspired Teens) Fund, aimed at providing essential financial assistance for youth mental health counseling. Community support has been instrumental in continuing this mental health initiative!!!

Autana Family Therapy Center provides mental health counseling sessions (referred by school counselors) and is funded by the KIT Fund for community youth going through trauma, depression, anxiety or mental health crisis.

Mental health is an issue that affects millions of individuals, yet it remains a topic that many people still struggle to openly discuss. Michigan statistics show 60% of youth with major depression do not receive mental health treatment. This financial assistance fund allows families (with no financial means or insurance) to obtain mental health counseling for their youth’s mental wellness.

Launched in Spring 2025, this mental health assistance donation fund supports:
• Youth mental health and well-being
• Strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and depression

The KIT Fund has rapidly connected youth with moderate to severe mental health needs to timely, school-linked therapy—changing trajectories for students who otherwise may have gone without care.
Per school counselors: “The adolescent mental health crisis has been well documented … school counselors often have no therapeutic options for low-income referrals that don’t come with a six-month wait list. The lack of mental health treatment, especially in trauma cases, can lead to a lack of motivation, school avoidance, drops in achievement, substance abuse, and suicidal ideation.

We’re excited to share a new offering for teens who may be feeling isolated, stressed, or disconnected—and who are looking for a meaningful way to connect with others.

Using music as a creative outlet, teens are invited to express emotions, explore identity, and build confidence in a supportive, judgment-free environment.

Each session offers opportunities to:

Share favorite songs, explore lyrics, and connect them to emotions

Jam and create music together

Bring their own instrument or use ones we provide

Connect with peers who share similar interests and passions

Show up exactly as they are, with no pressure to perform
