You might notice some changes in your teen
Teens today are juggling big feelings, school pressure, changing friendships, and family stress, and many feel overwhelmed, shut down, or explosive with no roadmap for what to do next. This week-long Teen Emotion Coaching Group in Edmonton gives them a safe, supportive place to understand what they feel, why they feel it, and how to respond in healthier, more confident ways.
This program is offered through Kin Integrated Child Health as part of a connected, multidisciplinary approach to child and teen mental health care, so families receive support that considers the whole child and their environment.

Friendship and boundary skills
The group supports teens in navigating peer conflict, handling tricky social situations, and setting and respecting boundaries with friends.
