Not Really Group Therapy

While the children will be learning therapeutic intervention and tools, this is not a group therapy session, children will not be asked to share history, trauma stories or reveal any personal information in the group. This skills workshop teaches children to express themselves and their emotions in the biggest messiest way with wonderful results.
