Happy Healthy Minds groups integrate activities for your chid designed to..

Decrease anxiety

Each week will begin with a mindfulness exercise and will cover a different topic such as self-acceptance and self-talk, bullying, anger management, social skills, goal setting, etc. Students will be able to share in a comfortable environment where they will gain a feeling of acceptance from their peers which they normally may not receive. Children will get to “role play” the lessons they learn in groups with their peers and engage in art, music and fun games.

The group format will also create an environment that can help improve your child’s self-worth and self-confidence as well as provide a setting to develop interpersonal skills such as communication and cooperation. With mindfulness practices, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy-based strategies, your child will begin to learn to take ownership of his/her own well-being. They can work on recognizing when they are anxious, depressed, angry, or overwhelmed, and express this in appropriate ways.
