Family Groups

Family groups offer a unique opportunity to bring together the entire family. Group sessions allow children, adolescents, parents, grandparents and blended families to explore developmental changes, create boundaries and limits, negotiate house rules and define family member roles.

These sessions will offer a space where families can come together to discuss common pressures and how that affects mental health and well being. It will be an interactive group where families will leave with tips and tools for strengthening family connections. Topics covered include:

• Building family connections:  Becoming the secure base kids need

• Building family connections:  What gets in the way and how do we repair

• Expanding the context:  Learning from our past to understand our present

Thank you for organizing this, it is a very important and interesting topic.  I wish more people knew more about it and weren’t afraid to take advantage of these amazing opportunities.  We thought that Amanda was great in the first session and opened up to interesting conversations with my child." -From participant 

Families have a pattern of interaction that impacts each person as well as the common good. If family therapy seems difficult to commit to right now these family groups can be a great place to work together and walk away with some short term solutions as as well as learn some key basics to buiding Emotional Connection in your family.

The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice.
