BREAKING BARRIERS: Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction for Teens
Teens 13-18 years learn simple, yet effective mindfulness practices. Over 8 weeks, teens learn to intentionally focus awareness of their emotions and behaviours.
Co-led by Touchstone Counsellors, children (7-12) meet for activities and discussion over an eight week period. Activities include co-operative games, activities, arts and crafts, music, drama and stories. Children will learn friendship skills and effective ways of handling feelings in order to raise the child’s self-esteem.
Facilitated by a male counsellor, this group meets for 8-10 weekly sessions. The sessions consist of integrated psycho-education and conversation, as well as videos and group exercises. This group is designed for men who are physically or verbally abusive to their partner and/or children. This group meets at 210 – 3031 Viking Way in Richmond.
