FALL SOCIAL: Children's Social Anxiety-Reduction Group
Facilitated by Audrey E. Boggs, Psy.D.
Alternating Saturdays, 11 AM to 12:30 PM
Meets every other Saturday beginning October, 2010 (actual start date TBD depending on enrollment) for a total of 8 sessions. Each week focuses on a topic geared toward decreasing anxiety and increasing self-esteem as well as participation in fun group games and activities. Dr. Boggs will utilize the Social Effectiveness Therapy for Children and Adolescents (SET-C) and Coping Cat approaches which have both shown validity in research studies with socially anxious children. In addition, she will incorporate other effective interventions used at AWOH such as her own Butterfly Scale and Consonations techniques, the second of which was developed for the treatment of selective mutism. Group activities are offered in a non-intrusive way for children to develop social comfort and cooperation skills with their peers. School-aged children ages 5-11 will be grouped by age depending on the ages of children enrolled. Group fee of $75 per session covers all materials, snacks and activities. Discounted rate of $50 per session is available if 4 or more sessions are purchased at a time.
