Teen Peer Support Group

What is a Teen Peer Support Group?

The Teen Peer Support Group provides a safe and supportive environment for high school students with a mental health concern. They may have their own concern or be concerned about a family member or a friend. Participants do not need a mental health diagnosis to attend.  The support group provides a chance to learn coping skills, build resiliency, and connect and socialize with peers experiencing similar struggles. Two trained facilitators lead each group and new participants are welcome at any time. A free snack is provided.
