Our Teen Guided Self-Help virtual Groups are small, safe, and expertly facilitated, supporting 13–17-year-olds with the challenges they face today — from self-esteem and self-acceptance to understanding their unique differences and strengths. Through virtual sessions, teens learn about anxiety, why emotions feel overwhelming, and practical ways to regulate them. With guidance and a supportive space, they gain skills and confidence to navigate life’s ups and downs.
