Kids Anxiety Support Group Ages 8 - 12

Service Description

Anxiety can be tough for kids—but they don’t have to face it alone. Our Kids Anxiety Support Group is designed for children ages 8–12 who struggle with worry, fear, or stress. This group gives kids a safe, fun, and supportive place to learn coping skills, connect with peers, and grow in confidence. In each session, kids will: 🧩 Learn Tools for Calm – Breathing, grounding, and mindfulness techniques to manage worry. 🎨 Express Through Play & Art – Activities and games that help kids explore emotions safely. 🤝 Build Friendships – Connect with other kids who understand what it feels like to be anxious. 🌱 Grow Confidence – Celebrate strengths, practice resilience, and feel supported every step of the way. Facilitated by Erica Smalla, MSW, MEd, LCSWA, a child-focused, identity-affirming therapist, this group blends creativity, structure, and compassion. Kids leave with tools they can use at school, at home, and with friends—while also knowing they are not alone.
