Group Work

SAS is a small group program designed to support children with ASD, ADHD, anger and anxiety as well as those who might be needing some extra support with social skills.

With a strong evidence base underpinning the program, it has demonstrated effectiveness in improving four key life skills:

1. Emotion Recognition (in self and others)
2. Emotion Regulation (particularly anxiety and anger)
3. Social Problem Solving
4. Social Skills (for friendship and teamwork!)

Skills Hub (Primary) is a small group program where we enrich communication skills, build a shared understanding of emotions and incorporate aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to better understand how our brains work. The group explores the following areas:

1. Understanding Emotions
2. Relaxation Skills
3. Thinking Strategies
4. Effective Communication
5. Positive Friendships

We combine fun, interactive activities with skills work and take-home resources.

Skills hub (Secondary) is a group work program based on the skills of Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. It is suitable for supporting anxiety, mood, impulse control, self-harm, negative thoughts and more. We combine talk, art, craft, relaxation activities, connection & collaboration in a no pressure environment. Come and talk, or just watch and absorb.

We explore skills in the following areas:

1. Mindfulness
2. Distress Tolerance
3. Emotional Regulation
4. Interpersonal Effectiveness
5. Emotional Regulation
