Groups at CAPS
Therapy and Dragons
Mondays; 4PM - 6PM
Students will create characters and use a fantasy landscape in order to learn new ways to approach challenges, express thoughts and feelings, and work together. Group members will engage in emotional processing and pro-social skill development through a therapeutically-assisted tabletop role-playing game. No previous experience with role-playing games (or therapy!) is necessary.
Chaotic Families Group
Wednesdays; 4:30PM - 6PM
The Chaotic Families group offers students support for managing difficult family relationships and dynamics.
