Social Skills Support Group for Elementary School Children

Starting on Sept 15 the Social Skills Group at Wellness Connection will be starting for children in elementary school. This group was very popular last spring and is returning, as requested, open to former group members and new children. This group is ideal for children who have a difficult time making or keeping friends, struggle with attention, starting and maintaining conversation,  as well as children who need some support on responding appropriately to others. We will work to develop skills of communication, focus, recognizing how others are feeling, understanding, friendship and regularly grow skills working as a team. Children in the group have the opportunity to connect and grow with other children who are working on the same skills. The Social Skills Group will be six weeks long from 9/15 - 10/20 and costs $240. We will meet on Monday evenings from 5-6 pm, or 6-7pm. Group members need to be available to attend all 6 weeks for the benefit of all children in the group. This is a great opportunity to take advantage of right as the school year begins. Group members will develop skills directly related to helping them all year at school. To enroll please call 703-327-0335. Space is limited.

This support group will be run by Sarah Freeman, M.Ed., Resident in Counseling, Sarah received her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Master’s degree in Counseling at George Mason University.
