Social Skills
High School Circle
High school is a time of big changes; navigating friendships, identity, independence, academics, and the pressure to figure out what comes next. The High School Circle is an 8-week, therapist-led group series where teens can build self-awareness, confidence, emotional regulation, coping-skills, and meaningful connections in a space where they can be themselves and feel understood.
Who it's for
Teens who are navigating the ups and downs of high school and want a supportive space to connect, grow, and feel understood. This circle may be a good fit for those who:
​
-
Struggle with confidence or self-esteem
-
Have difficulty managing stress or big emotions
-
Are navigating friendship or relationship challenges
-
Feel overwhelmed by school or social pressures
-

-
Are working on coping with change or uncertainty
-

What it looks like
The Social Skills High 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 high 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 teens 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.

Screening & Registration
Every participant completes a pre-Circle clinical screening before joining. This helps us understand each person's needs and determine whether the group is a good fit for them.
​
Once the screening is completed and the group is determined to be an appropriate fit, registration can be completed and your teen's spot in the Circle will be confirmed.
Ready to join?
1. Complete the Pre-Circle Screening
A parent or caregiver may complete the screening form on behalf of their teen or the participant may complete the screening on their own.
​
2. We Review for Fit
Our team reviews the Pre-Circle screening to make sure it's the right fit.
​
3. Register for the Circle
Once your teen is cleared for the group, you'll receive the next steps to complete registration.
​
4. Show Up & Grow Together!
Your teen joins the same small group each week for 8 weeks; building skills, connection, and confidence along the way.
​
Screening is required before joining. Enrollment is limited to keep the group small and supportive.
