Gender Specific Group for Girls
Our girls's group is psychodynamic and psychoeducational, utilizing experiential activities to assist female youth to develop and maintain healthy relationships, build self-esteem, and utilize positive coping skills to deal with family and social stressors unique to girls in custody.
Girl's group provides female youth with a safe, secure place to address painful experiences related to being in custody, family dysfunction, abuse and neglect, relationship/attachment issues, and other situations in which the girls may feel isolated, ashamed, or at fault.
Girl's group meets weekly for 1 1/2 hours and is designed for female youth ages 14 to 18.
Topics include:
- Feeling Identification/Expression
- Self-Esteem/Body Image
- Self-Care
- Developing Healthy Relationships
- Appropriate Boundary Setting
