Teaching children, teens, and young adults how to manage anxiety in a group setting
Social Anxiety Groups, offered through the Anxiety Disorders Center, are designed for children, adolescents, and young adults who struggle with social anxiety and tend to avoid social situations, which can worsen their symptoms. These evidence-based groups teach coping skills and provide opportunities to practice facing social fears in a supportive environment. Through guided exposures, participants build confidence and learn how to manage anxiety more effectively than with individual treatment alone.
Groups are designed to help participants develop skills and confidence in a supportive environment through exposures. Benefits include but are not limited to:
Teens learn to navigate social situations, from starting conversations to resolving conflicts.
We meet individually with each participant to identify specific areas of concern.
Participants practice social skills in a supportive, group-focused setting.
The five-day Social Anxiety Group program offers an immersive experience to help participants manage their anxiety across a full week of activities.

The Social Anxiety Groups program targets areas of exposure such as participating in a virtual setting or in class, asking for help, asserting opinions, working or playing in a group, starting or joining in a conversation, video chatting with family or friends, attending a virtual or in-person party, ordering at a restaurant, giving a presentation or debating an issue, etc.
We meet individually with each participant prior to the start of the group to determine if he or she is the right fit and to identify specific areas of concern. In addition to group-focused activities, we are able to provide individualized interventions tailored to the specific needs of each child.
If a child cannot attend and we are notified at least 7 days prior to the start date of the program we will issue a refund, excluding a $300 non-refundable deposit for administrative fees.
