Healthy School Transition-REMOTE
There is an enormous amount of confusion students face at this moment of their lives. They are transitioning from early-childhood to young-adulthood, and often from a school with familiar faces to a school with new students. They are faced with a new reality, responsibilities for self-care, navigating to unfettered access to bullying, illegal substances and negative attention, balancing a desire for independence with new stress levels. The group focus on creating a positive transition and supporting them to make healthy positive choices. We will focus on positive coping skills in aim to create a positive & smooth transition.
