Give Boys the tools they need to navigate friendships, and relationships, and increase confidence with navigators!

With engaging activities, they can learn essential skills that will prepare them for life. From developing self-esteem and confidence to enhancing leadership abilities, our program provides a safe space for boys to grow, explore, and succeed. Join us today and help unlock the potential of our youth!  We will discuss topics around emotion regulation, impulse control, making and maintaining friendships, and stress management skills. 

Led with passion and purpose

The group will be facilitated by Samantha McKenzie, our licensed mental health professional who specializes in working with kids, tweens and teens. Samantha will create an open, safe space for children to share their thoughts and feelings.

She will also provide guidance and support in order to help girls explore different topics, practice communication skills, develop emotional intelligence, and build relationships with others. This group encourages open dialogue and uses different activities and exercises to keep the group engaged in the discussion.

Attending this group can give boys a safe and supportive space to explore their emotions, build healthy relationships, and increase their confidence. Boys will have the opportunity to make new friends, discuss issues that are important to them, learn how to cope with difficult situations, and develop impulse control. They will also be able to practice and hone their communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills in a fun and interactive environment.

By attending this group, boys will gain the necessary tools and resources to help them navigate life with more confidence!

What to Expect

💙 Managing Emotions: We will learn how to use coping skills to manage different emotions that may come up at home, school, or in life. We will work on emotion regulation and impulse control, and also learn how to relate to one another in a supportive way.

💙 Practice Communication and Problem-Solving Skills: We will discuss how to effectively communicate our thoughts and feelings, practice active listening, and use non-violent conflict resolution techniques. Boys can learn how to express their needs in an assertive manner while respecting the needs of others.

💙 Enhance Leadership Abilities: We will focus on developing leadership skills that boys can take out into the world. Boys can explore their passions and interests, learn how to manage group dynamics, and gain the confidence to take on leadership roles in their lives.

💙 Connect with Resources: We will provide boys with resources that can help them find additional support if needed. This may include information about mental health professionals, crisis hotlines, support groups, or other resources.

💙 Have Fun: Finally, we will ensure that boys have fun and enjoy their time in the group! We will use games and activities to keep the group engaged and encourage positive connections with each other.

The integrity of the curriculum involves a very particular scope and sequence which requires students to complete each session as a group. We understand some unavoidable conflicts may arise, however, we have scheduled around common holidays and school breaks. With this in mind please note:

  • No refunds or credits are applied for missed classes

  • Should the provider need to miss a session, we will arrange a make-up session that allows for the majority of students to attend (it may occur at the end of the term).

  • We do not follow local school closings. If there is inclement weather, please keep checking our website and/or your messaging portal to see if we are open on the day of your group session.
