Nature Group Therapy For Youth
October 2 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
$40
Nature therapy offers a unique opportunity for youth to develop their sense of self, build resiliency, gain coping skills, and strengthen their connection to their natural world and peers. This group is great for pre-teens who may be feeling anxious navigating the start of middle school or Jr High.
What to expect:
Nature group therapy will be held at a public outdoor location in Santa Barbara, CA. We will meet once a week for 50 minutes.
Your child will have the opportunity to:
– Practice mindfulness and grounding techniques, gently move their bodies to explore the environment
– Learn more about their own anxiety and experience of others
– Creative play
– Learn about the local plants and animals
– Gain confidence in their ability to navigate challenges in life
– Collaborate with others and practice social skills
– Have a safe space to be themselves
