DO CHILDREN RESPOND TO GROUP THERAPY?

With an experienced, effective leader, group therapy can provide a comfortable place for children and adolescents to share. They are especially responsive to working this way because the peer-support that will be generated is particularly important to the self-esteem of this age group

For more than 50 years, groups have been remarkably successful in helping children and adolescents cope with the myriad of issues that may arise as a part of growing up. Group work can help on its own or as an adjunct to individual or family therapy. And now, WGW has designed a number of groups specifically tailored to work with children and adolescents.

The group lends confidential comfort and support for the growing-up process. And, if additional disappointments or frustrations (disaster, school problems, social setbacks, illness, family changes) arise, an appropriate group, with the special sharing that takes place among leader and peers, offers the child real help in first coping and then healing.

Further, for the child who needs help with improving social skills, social awareness and problem-solving expertise, a group is the ideal setting, providing important experience in cooperation, group cohesion and teamwork.
