Getting Started

The Intake Process Before joining the group, all participating parents and children will attend an initial intake appointment with a provider. This visit ensures the group is the appropriate intervention for your child and family.

Important Note: This workshop is designed for support and skill-building, not for patient/families in crisis. If your family is experiencing an immediate crisis, please seek a therapeutic crisis intervention modality or a higher level of care.
