Greeves Child and Family Counseling, LLC and A Piece of Mind, LLC are pleased to announce our first series of "Let's Stick Together" Groups. Our mission is to provide a structured, intensive social skills group for children with Autism and Developmental Delays while simultaneously providing support for siblings of these children. Therapists in the social skills group will focus on children's social needs through targeted interactions with other children and adults. In addition, group games and circle time will focus on taking turns, listening to others, and general participation in a group. Child counselors will lead the siblings as they explore, identify and discuss their feelings relating to their roles within the family. These children have unique needs and in this setting will be able to tell their stories and be listened to and supported by others. |

if you are interested in learning more about this group or future groups. When children have problems, sometimes they don’t have the words to talk about them. Play gives children a way to communicate feelings they don’t understand or can’t express any other way. Play therapy has been shown to be an effective intervention with children for a variety of behavioral and emotional difficulties. Research has shown that motivated parents can be trained to be as effective as play therapists using play therapy skills with their own children, with as little as 20 hours of Child-Parent-Relationship (C-P-R) Training. |
