THRIVE: FINDING YOUR EMOTIONAL STRENGTH

FREE TEEN WORKSHOP MARCH 2

Deadline to register is February 23

Pittsford Youth Services will offer a free, one-day series of peer group workshops for Pittsford Students in grades 9-12 on Saturday, March 2.

The THRIVE workshops will provide a supportive environment where participants can discuss mental health and other issues affecting teens. Participants will share experiences and learn to better understand their own, and their peers’ feelings and struggles. Various therapies and relaxation techniques will be shared, as will information about accessing teen support resources in schools and in the community. The day includes hands-on experience with a pet therapist, an art therapist, and a music therapist. A discussion on the importance of self-care and the option to participate in a yoga class will conclude the day’s activities.

THRIVE will be held from 9:00am – 5:00pm at Calkins Road Middle School.
Lunch will be provided.

A FREE three-day summer bereavement camp held every summer for children who are adjusting to the death of a loved one.

Grief is difficult for everyone. It can be especially confusing for children who do not have life experiences and resources to draw on during difficult times. Camp helps fill that gap.
