High School Powerhaus

High School Powerhaus: A Supportive group for high school students

In high school, there are so many decisions to make, peer pressures to avoid, and family expectations to uphold.  If you are a high school student who feels overwhelmed at times from expectations from school, family, friends & activities, this group is for you!

Sometimes, it seems no one understands the pressures that high school can bring, except other high school students. This group allows high schoolers to talk, vent, and support each other, taking time away from outside opinions, and learning what you truly like & need in your life.

Group goals include:

• Purposefully choosing decisions for myself & my future

• Successfully managing school assignments, tasks, & expectations

• Finding positive ways to cope with stress

• Balancing activities, family, friends, school & work

• Increasing positive communication with parents regarding your feelings & needs

• Boundary setting

• Goal setting

• Meditation & Relaxation Exercises

• Meeting like-minded high school students

• Accepting support & requesting feedback from HS peers in a safe environment

• Laughing

This group meets once a month on Monday evenings.

Cost: $40/session

This will be a closed group, meaning that once we begin a series, I will not let anyone new into the group. This allows for higher levels of confidentiality and safety. I keep groups small, with  no more than 6 participants per group, so that I can easily attend to each member’s needs.
