Teen Connection: EmpowerHer

This group is designed for females ages 12-18 where adolescent girls gather to explore personal issues, build coping skills, and support one another in a safe, confidential environment. The group process often focuses on themes relevant to adolescence, such as self-esteem, identity development, peer relationships, emotional regulation, and family dynamics. Interventions used within the group setting include cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavioral techniques, assertiveness training, and psychoeducation of effective interpersonal skills. Being part of a group helps teens develop a sense of belonging, reduce feelings of isolation, and enhance self-awareness. The therapeutic space allows for honest reflection on personal struggles while receiving validation from others with similar experiences.
