Social Skills for 8 to 12 year old children
This is a four week educational group for eight to twelve year old children who might benefit from learning some improved interpersonal communication skills. This group is filled with fun activities that help the participants to improve social self confidence in new or established environments and learn the art of conversation.
Mindfulness Meditation & Discussion
Facilitated by "The Mindful Guy" Chris Griffin, this six week group is a great introduction but also will help to explain how mindfulness can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression while providing tangible health benefits as well.
Individuals can learn how to become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and actions in this supportive and collaborative environment with the intent to bring this powerful practice into their daily life as a practice of habit.
