Stress Busters

Stress Busters is a group for 10-12 year-olds who are struggling with worry or sadness. They will learn how to understand their emotions and have more control over them by using coping skills, changing their thoughts, and having more fun. One of the major concepts is “I.C.O.P.E.” – I can overcome problems effectively!  After participating in this group, kids will be better at identifying and solving their own problems, experience reduced depressive symptoms, and increase their use of healthy stress management strategies. The whole family is invited to the final session to see their child teach about the skills they’ve learned, practice them with their parents, and receive a certificate and prize for completing the program. 

This is a fee 10-week program that is held in schools or at Youth Services.
