Superflex Social Skills Group
Tuesdays at 5pm starting October 2024!
This is a group for children to learn how to effectively navigate a complex social world and meet their social goals. Children will learn how to harness their “superpowers” of flexibility, self-awareness, executive functions, self-regulation, and more! Children will have the opportunity to:
- Learn about social observation, awareness, flexible thinking, perspective taking, and self-regulation
- Become “Social Detectives” to observe their surroundings, read social situations and interpret cues
- Explore their own social strengths, learn challenges for adapting flexibly to social situations, and manage their challenges to meet social goals
- Practice their skills in real social situations with peers
Groups are held in-person at our Chatham Township, NJ, office. Registration is open to all families, new or current. New clients will complete an intake prior to starting group. Please call or email us at admin@caringcove.com if interested in learning more about this opportunity.
Child Selective Mutism & Social Anxiety Group
Wednesdays at 5pm starting September/October 2024!
Children with selective mutism (SM) and/or social anxiety experience significant discomfort surrounding social situations. Some individuals may be talkative at home, while appearing frozen in public settings, school settings, or with certain others. Our groups are specially focused on navigating SM and social anxiety and on improving your child’s comfort speaking in public.
Groups are held in-person at our Chatham Township, NJ, office for children to practice skills in a real-life setting with peers. Each week, children will apply skills to specific anxiety-provoking situations, such as asking and responding to questions, taking attendance, reviewing the date & weather, and participating in an activity. Each child’s individual goals will gradually increase in difficulty, working up to a group presentation (e.g., Show & Tell).
Registration is open to all families, new or current. New clients will complete an intake and “fade-in” individual sessions prior to starting group. Please call or email us at admin@caringcove.com if interested in learning more about this opportunity.
