Stress Less for Teens!
Hello,
My name is Malin and I am studying the psychology program at Lund University in Sweden. During our program students have the opportunity to complete an internship during the fall semester of 2019 anywhere in the world. Therefore, this semester I have the opportunity to work at Wake Psychological Health and Wellness as an intern.
During my internship I will provide psychoeducational groups for adolescents. Psychoeducation is defined as providing information about one’s difficulties and struggles, such as stress and anxiety, and how it impacts our daily life. This psychoeducation group is not therapy or a psychological service, but merely a way to help teens understand and cope with stress and difficult emotions.
The group sessions will cover what stress feels like, how it impacts one's mental and physical health, and how stress is related to expectations from parents, school, friends and oneself. We will also define basic emotions, where the emotions are located in the body (anger may be located in the forehead while fear may be located in the stomach for example), and how to handle these emotions mindfully. Learn strategies to feel calm, cool and focused with these new psychoeducational groups!
The sessions are free of charge and will be held in groups from ages 12 to 14 and 15 to 17.
Please contact admin@wakepsychology.com for more information.
Kind regards,
Malin
