Social Circle
Middle School

Middle school can bring big feelings, changing friendships, growing expectations, and plenty of moments when it feels hard to know where you fit. The Middle School Circle is an 8-week, therapist-led group series designed to help middle schoolers build emotional wellness, confidence, coping skills, and stronger relationships; alongside peers who get it.

What we work on

The Middle School Circle combines evidence-based skills with real conversation and peer connection. Over eight weeks, we explore: 

​

  • Understanding and managing big feelings

  • Building confidence and self-esteem

  • Navigating friendships and social situations

  • Communicating needs and setting boundaries

  • Coping with stress

  • Practicing perspective-taking and empathy

  • Building healthy relationships

  • Feeling more comfortable being themselves

What it looks like

The Social Skills Middle School Circle is a small, closed group where participants return to the same group of peers each week. This consistency creates space for trust, connection, and meaningful growth to develop over time. 

​

Each 60-minute session combines: 

​

Therapist-led support 

A supportive space guided by a therapist who understands the unique challenges of middle school. 

​

Practical, evidence-based skills 

Learn and practice tools for managing emotions, navigating stress, building confidence, and strengthening relationships. 

​

Real peer connection 

Opportunities to talk, listen, share experiences, and learn alongside other middle schoolers who may be navigating similar challenges. 

​

A space to be yourself 

A confidential, welcoming environment where participants can show up honestly, without having to figure everything out on their own.
