Got Grit! Groups for Children & Adolescents

Got Grit Group for children (ages 7-11:) or Got Grit Group for youth (ages 12-16).

Research confirms that preventative rather than interventive programs when it comes to young people’s health and wellness is most effective. This group is distinct in that it is setup to be a preventative or interventive group for young people.  The Got Grit group coaches and supports children/ youth and provides them with the effective tools to gain insight into their strengths and become more resilient in the face of life stressors and hardships. This group teaches young people how to be compassionate towards themselves and others and it broadly addresses issues related to emotions regulation (i.e., anxiety, sadness etc.), effective communication, developing healthy/prosocial relationships, self-care, and effective conflict resolution skills.

The aim of the Got Grit group is to build character strength, strengthen individual autonomy, improve overall human functioning and well-being. The program is intended to reduce mental health symptoms including anxiety and depression, improve social relationships, improve the self-view of the young person as well as their overall happiness.
