Teen Connections is an 8-week intentional group for teens who have mental health or substance use challenges and who could benefit from a supportive environment to enhance their social skills, learn new coping skills, and have fun while just being themselves!

Each session will include time for supported sharing and service work for others. Participants will also work together at each session to cook and share a delicious vegetarian meal. Learning topics will cover skill building, communication skills, self-regulation, and basic life skills.

Participants will also have time to kick back, relax, and have fun, unstructured time with their peers!

We do ask that participants commit to being at all 8 sessions. We understand emergencies do come up but keeping consistency in the group is important. If you’re not able to make all 8 sessions, we encourage you to watch for other group sessions that may fit your schedule better.

Teen Connections is being offered for FREE* to the community thanks to a generous gift from Dance with David.

*If you have the means to pay for your child’s spot, you will have the option to do that as an “add-on” to the group. Doing so helps us to spread the gift further and have more groups.
