4.Hiding Behind the Smile: 

Overcoming Anxiety and Depression 

• Each group is unique and formulated based on the individual clients’ needs and overall family goals.

• As each child is different, each group is different, so I design the weekly topics and activities based on that specific group's needs and the goals set with parents during intake, (prior to the beginning of group).

1. Prior to the start of peer social skills group, parents will schedule a meeting to complete an intake; assess for current needs and formulate general goals.

2. I will solidify goals and email to parent(s)

   • ​​Based on the assessment, we will then agree which group best fits your child

   • I will provide session #1 general topics and possible activities, so you have the opportunity to help prepare your child
