About this Event
YWCA Greater Austin’s GenYW program is providing this no-cost group to promote social skills development and support for neurodivergent youth. Youth (aged 10-13) will connect with others who are experiencing similar challenges with growing up neurodivergent. Participants will learn self-regulation skills, practice social skills, and learn about boundaries within friendships. The group will meet weekly on Fridays from 11am-1pm starting on June 7th. There will be no group the week of July 4th.
- Youth must be 10-13 years old
- Project materials will be provided by YWCA Greater Austin
- The group runs for 6-weeks and we ask that participants attend at least 4 sessions
- Youth are welcome to bring lunches/snacks - please avoid peanuts/tree nuts
The GenYW program provides psychoeducational groups and mental health services for youth in their school setting as well as in their communities and at our offices. For summer we will be offering abbreviated versions of our program at no-cost to participants. Additionally, participants and their families may be eligible to have access to no-cost mental health services if they want to pursue services.
Paperwork must be completed by parents/guardians prior to the start of groups. Participants will be asked to complete brief surveys throughout the program to help YWCA Greater Austin understand the impact of this group. Additional details will be sent to the email address used for registration within Eventbrite.
