Being a high-achieving teen can come with a lot of pressure. When you're used to doing well, meeting expectations, and pushing yourself to succeed, it can be difficult to know what to do when emotions feel bigger than expected or when things don't go according to plan.
This group provides high-achieving teens with a supportive space to better understand their emotions, manage stress and pressure, and develop healthier ways of coping with the expectations they place on themselves.
Over the course of this 8-week group, participants will explore topics such as perfectionism, self-criticism, academic and performance pressure, managing disappointment, coping with stress, navigating expectations, building emotional awareness, and learning how to handle difficult emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them.
The group will combine discussion, skill-building, reflection, and opportunities to connect with other teens who may understand the unique pressures that can come with being a high achiever. Teens will be encouraged to explore what drives their high standards, identify patterns that may be creating unnecessary stress, and develop practical strategies they can use in school, relationships, and everyday life.
This is a closed group, meaning the same participants will meet together each week for the duration of the group. The group will have a maximum of 8 participants to allow for meaningful connection, participation, and individualized support.
