About the Group

In a small group of other caregivers (no more than 12 caregivers working with two facilitators), we will combine experiential learning and skill-building to strengthen caregiver capacity to support the recovery and healing of their teen’s mental health. This is a comprehensive workshop with time for discussion, reflection, teaching, and practice.
