​

19 de agosto de 2021 al 1 de junio de 2022

Jueves @ 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM

(Para niñas de secundaria superior, grados 6-8)

​

Navegar por el mundo social de la escuela secundaria es difícil. Hacer y mantener conexiones reales puede ser una lucha, especialmente en el mundo actual.

 

Únase a nosotros mientras creamos un espacio seguro para explorar la identidad propia, desarrollar habilidades sociales y de toma de decisiones, practicar un discurso empático y productivo e investigar qué significa pertenecer.

 

El grupo se reúne semanalmente y brinda formas prácticas de aprender una comunicación saludable (incluso cuando no estamos de acuerdo), la resolución de problemas sociales y el manejo de las emociones, como la ansiedad, el aislamiento, la tristeza y la frustración.

​

Este grupo es ideal para ti si tienes:

​

  • Problemas para encontrar el sentido de pertenencia

  • Luchas para disfrutar de la escuela: puede o no tener TDAH y/o ansiedad

  • Interés por el anime, el arte, la creatividad y los juegos en línea.

  • Fuerte sentido de la individualidad y un estilo personal único.
