Our group programs emphasize meeting students where they are, both physically and mentally, and afford sufficient flexibility to adapt to the unique needs of the participants.
We take into careful consideration each student’s background, including; gender, language, cultural differences, past trauma, personal experiences and beliefs.
Group Program Types
General Support Groups
Groups are tailored to the needs of students, with a focus on helping them process their concerns, questions, and attitudes in a productive manner in order to promote positive communication, healthy relationships and character development.
Crisis Debrief
Mending Matters provides crisis response and debrief on school campuses to assist after a community tragedy or critical incident. The structure of this support varies based on the event(s) that occurred.
