Worry is a normal feeling that we all feel. But sometimes that worry can turn into anxiety, which some kids feel in their bodies (like sweatiness, stomachache, or rapid breathing) or their thoughts and makes it hard for them to enjoy normal things like playing with friends, or doing schoolwork. This group helps kids understand how to cope with these feelings and manage their worries in a way that allows them to thoroughly enjoy being a kid again. This 6-week group will allow children to explore their thoughts and emotions through reading short stories, watching videos, doing art projects, and connecting with other kids.

As students deal with the stressors of social situations, academics, feelings of inadequacy and overall life adjustments, sometimes the normal feelings of anxiety bubble into deep fears and worries that negatively impact their ability to function in daily activities. With so much going on in the world, it can feel like a scary and threatening place, causing symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, feeling a sense of panic, difficulty sleeping, and/or rapid heart rate. This 6-week group will allow students to understand their thoughts and feelings, connect with peers through engaging discussion, learn coping skills to manage their emotions, and identify when to ask for help.
