Hi parents of teen girls...
Over the past week, the therapists at The Albani Group are becoming more and more aware that teens are feeling unprecedented amounts of stress as they are trying to navigate online school and re-engineer their social groups, while also grieving their freedom, extra-curricular activities, and friendships.
To address this growing stress, especially for teen girls who are already struggling with anxiety and/or depression, ADHD, etc, one of our therapists JoAnne Forman MFT, is starting a telehealth group dedicated to teaching specific skills and tools for staying present and regulated during this time. This is also an opportunity for girls to connect with other teens who are also learning and practicing these skills.
JoAnne has been running these in-person groups for years, but many of your girls have not been able to attend because of extracurricular activities. Now is a fantastic opportunity to add this extra support.
