Adult Groups
In-person, virtual, or hybrid formats
Adult groups at Safe Connections are primarily focused on psychoeducation. These groups provide a supportive space for participants to gain knowledge, build skills, and better understand their experiences. At times, we also offer trauma processing groups for clients who are ready to engage in a more intensive, therapeutic group setting. Our groups are designed to empower survivors by offering practical tools and strategies for healing and moving forward, all within a safe and supportive environment.
Groups may be used as a supplement to individual therapy or as a standalone service. Clients do not need to have an individual therapist at Safe Connections to participate.
Teen Groups
In-person, virtual, or hybrid formats
Teen groups at Safe Connections are offered in a variety of formats to support growth, connection, and healing. These include skill-building groups focused on emotional regulation, as well as art-based studios where teens can connect with peers and engage in activities they enjoy in a supportive environment. We also offer concurrent parent groups that provide psychoeducation for caregivers, helping them better understand and support teens who have experienced traumatic events.
