Dana Group Associates: Healing, Wellness & Stress Management

STRESS MANAGEMENT-FOR-TEENS GROUP Dana Group believes there is a growing need for teaching Stress Management strategies to teens. Adolescents don't always know the best coping skills to utilize under stressful conditions. Today, more than at any other time, children are inundated with pressures that they feel are insurmountable. These pressures can lead to behaviors that often make matters worse. In response to these needs, participants will learn skills and strategies to help manage their thoughts, feelings and behaviors when faced with stress, anxiety, and/or difficult situations in their lives. These life stressors may include, but are not limited to school, friends, family and relationships in general. Through group work, teens will develop a better understanding of what it means to be 'mindful' and how to benefit from applying mindfulness skills and strategies to their daily lives; to be effective in school, home and outside the group.
