Description
During the years from adolescence through adulthood, many teens experience a lot of pressure due to the demands placed upon them from their parents, peers, and social surroundings. At this age, what is crucial is a sense of identity and belonging. This is where Counseling and Educational Center comes in. It is our goal to create a safe and comfortable environment for young people to express their feelings and emotions openly without being judged, and guide them to choose a path which will make them more successful in life.
In this 8-week session, teens, and pre-teens alike, will have the opportunity to share and explore their feelings and thoughts in depth. Through a combination of lecture, group sharing, intense one-to-one work with each and every individual, and periodic assignments, the following issues will be covered, among others:
- confidence issues
- relationship with self and parents
- self-worthiness
- setting boundaries (saying “NO” to drugs, gang, etc.)
- communication
- understanding parents
- dealing with peer pressure
- creating goals
- anger management
