Virtual Social Groups for Kids!
Do you want your child to have fun while making connections? In June, we are starting virtual social hours for children ages 6 to 12 in order to provide an opportunity for them to interact with friends at a distance.
Groups will be offered weekly on Thursday afternoons across an 8 week period over Zoom. Feel free to sign up for one or more of these sessions and attend what fits within your family's schedule. Zoom links will be provided to families through the email provided at registration.
If you are ready to register your child, click here >> and be prepared for the joy and laughter that will explode from your computer screen!
NOTE: due to the generous support of our donors, these events are complimentary/free for our families!
Ready, Set, Regulate!
(Therapeutic, Small Groups for Children)
Ready, Set, Regulate provides a supported environment where children can focus on appropriately participating in small group programming; identifying and expressing emotions; and developing healthy emotional regulation strategies.
Led by our Pathways Therapy team, each group (limited to 4 children) focuses on group learning skills such as taking turns and following group instructions. We also introduce a 3-step strategy that participants can use to manage big emotions!
Sessions begin the week of June 14th and run through August 13th, with 8 total sessions. Space is limited, so be sure to enroll ASAP!
Weekly slots are available on Mondays from 5-6 pm; Tuesdays from 5-6 pm; and Wednesdays 10-11 am or 4-5 pm!
If you are interested in signing up, please fill out a Pathways application here! >>
