Group for Tweens (10-13)

Service Description

Reinvent’s Phases Groups occur on the verdant grounds of The Highlands Mansion and Gardens in Ambler, PA. During our outdoor sessions, group members will enjoy 59 acres of historic land, hang out in the amazing greenhouse, and explore the Georgian mansion built in 1796. At The Highlands Mansion & Gardens, group members may participate in light hiking, tend to the herb garden, visit with goats, and engage in wildcrafting for self-care, all while developing stress-relieving strategies for everyday life. At Reinvent, teens have opportunities to talk about the fears or stressors that hold them back and learn tools to use outside the group when those challenges arise. Your child will engage with others in a safe and positive skill-building practice during the group. Our Approach: Nature-Informed Therapy (NIT) Our Nature-Informed Therapy (NIT) approach integrates researched and evidence-based principles to provide holistic care. Nature therapy, also known as ecotherapy, is a therapeutic practice that involves immersing oneself in nature to promote mental and emotional well-being. This approach, which can also be referred to as horticulture therapy, leverages the healing power of the natural environment to support growth. NIT combines: - Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MB-CT): Enhances self-awareness and emotional regulation. - Psycho-Evolutionary Concepts: Addresses fundamental psychological needs and behaviors. - Attention Restoration Theory: Utilizes natural environments to restore cognitive functions. - Attachment Theory: Focuses on building secure and healthy relationships. - Psycho-Spiritual Concepts: Encourages a deeper connection with self and the natural world. Reinvent Counseling utilizes nature-based therapy, including engagement with plants, animals, wilderness settings, nature-focused arts and crafts, and play in natural environments and/or with natural materials. What to expect from the group: - Five, 1-hour in-person group workshops with a Behavior Therapist and co-facilitator. - Outdoor activities: walk & talks, meadow exploration, garden-tending, goat visits. - Small, safe, and confidential groups with 3-8 members. - Inclusive, open, and safe spaces for evidence-based healing. - Stress and anxiety skill-building lessons and practice.
