Teen Girls Group is designed for young women to have a safe space

to talk freely, connect with others who can truly understand them,

and learn useful skills to manage stress and increase self-esteem.

​

Who can group help?

• Girls ages 14 - 18 who are feeling alone, isolated, unsure of themselves, or depressed

• Girls who know they have feelings or relationships that they need to talk about, but have struggled with how to talk about them (or who to talk to)

• Girls who want to learn more about who they are on a deeper level

​

How can group help?

Through group, teens will:

• Connect with others who can truly understand them

• Learn new skills to manage stress, anxiety, mood fluctuations, and relationships

• Better understand their strengths and personalities

• Practice being confident and challenging the double standards, pressures, and cultural messages we receive as women

​

What does group look like?

• Group will be 1 hour long, once a week

• Group will be limited to 8 girls at the most (so everyone has the chance to be heard) 

• Group will be mostly interpersonal and unstructured in nature - so group members can share what they want, when they want and can learn to interact naturally with each other in healthy ways

• Coping skills will be incorporated through fun, hands-on activities

• Group members will give feedback about what they want and need out of group, and we will work hard to meet those needs

​

How much does group cost?

• The investment in group is $40 per session

• If you have Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance + meet the critieria for a mental health diagnosis, your insurance will likely cover the fees for group

•  If you do not have BCBS insurance, do not meet criteria for a diagnosis, or do not want to use your insurance, you can pay out of pocket
