Groups are capped at 10 members. A minimum of 5 members is required to meet. All groups run 75 minutes. The following groups are now forming:
Relationship Group (20's/30's)
132 S. 17th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103
Wednesdays, 6:15 - 7:30 PM / Status: Currently running, accepting new members
This group is for clients in their twenties and thirties and will focus on general relationship issues (peer/romantic/work), including the themes of communication, commitment, trust, and intimacy. Special attention will be given to interpersonal interactions between the group members, with an emphasis on greater awareness of "process" or how we relate to one another verbally and non-verbally. One of the goals of this group is to help members develop greater awareness of their interactions in relationships. Membership in the group is open, which means that adults of all relationship statuses and sexual orientations are welcome.
New/Expecting Fathers Group
132 S. 17th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103
Mondays, 6:30 - 7:30 PM / Status: Has yet to begin; recruiting new members as of 2/1/10
This group is designed to help fathers articulate and share their new parenting experiences with one another in a safe and supportive environment. Common issues associated with becoming a father will be explored. In addition, group members will also learn how to become more aware of their verbal and non-verbal relationship behavior patterns, through observation of interactions in group. This understanding will be applied to group members' marital/romantic and parenting relationships.
Peer Relationship Group
132 S. 17th Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
TBA / Status: Has yet to begin; recruiting new members as of 2/1/10
This group is for high school students, ages 15-18. The focus of this group will be on peer relationships, specifically changing repetitive dysfunctional behaviors and patterns that lead to unsuccessful outcomes. Issues of acceptance, isolation, and rejection will be explored. This is a process group, which means that members will work "in the moment" to provide useful feedback to one another.
