In the past year, many adolescents and teens have fallen into depression, anxiety, and other negative feelings that have grown out of the isolation and disruption of long-term distance learning. Many of these challenges began when they were still in school and became worse with the bullying and loneliness of online classes.
Well-managed teen mental health treatment includes a number of specialized therapeutic tools, and different forms of professionally guided therapy are some of the best. There is strong research to suggest that group therapy can be critical to their lasting success for teens. This is especially true for teens who struggle with the following:
- Bullying
- Social anxiety
- Chronic social isolation
- Anger Management
- Identity Conflicts
Why Group Therapy For Teens is a Central Part of Treatment at Beyond Healthcare
The benefits of group therapy for teens are backed by evidence, and we work hard to be on the leading edge of mental health treatment. These are some of the most compelling reasons to give our teen learners an opportunity to heal in a group setting:
- Teen mental health issues are often dominated by social challenges. A trained therapist working individually with a teen will see progress. Still, the social components of anxiety and other issues will often not be clear in a one-on-one setting. Teens need to be challenged in authentic situations in order for professionals to identify and help support their needs.
- Better communication tools that relieve stress — Working in a carefully guided group allows teens to pick up better emotional communication skills. Many teens become irritable and defiant because they don’t feel like they can accurately express what they are going through. By learning with peers, they will reduce the stress and stigma of holding everything in.
- A sense of real and relevant community — Group therapy is designed to bring together teens who are all working on similar challenges and give them a sense of connection and support. Beyond Healthcare is dedicated to creating an inclusive and empathetic environment where lasting friendships can be built.
- Self-confidence — Taking our learners away from school stressors, academic and social life gives them a chance to open up without fear of judgment. Once they get a taste of respect and kindness, they are more likely to make stronger and more appropriate friendships in the future.
