Target Population: Adolescents (ages 13-17) experiencing common adolescent challenges such as identity confusion, anxiety related to developmental changes, difficulties adapting to new social dynamics, feelings of loss associated with maturation,
and general emotional regulation needs.

Adolescence is a time of big shifts – in who you are, your friendships, and how you see the world. It's normal to feel a little lost, anxious, or sad when things change.

This 4-week art therapy group offers a safe and creative space to explore these feelings, understand yourself better, and build resilience as you grow.

Group Goals:
1. To explore and express various facets of evolving identity through creative means.
2. To acknowledge and process maturational losses (e.g., changes in childhood, friendships, roles) in a safe space.
3. To develop self-awareness and self-compassion amidst personal growth and change.
4. To learn and apply art-based coping strategies for managing the emotions associated with identity shifts and loss.

This group is for those experiencing:
Identity confusion or questions about who you are.
Anxiety about growing up or new things.
Friendship challenges or social changes.
Feelings of loss as childhood shifts.
Big emotions you want to understand better.

Session 1: Who Am I Now? Mapping My Evolving Self

Theme: Introduction, group norms, and an initial exploration of current identity and the feeling of self in transition.

Session 2: Letting Go: Processing Maturational Losses

Theme: Acknowledging and expressing feelings related to the natural losses that occur during adolescence (e.g., older friendships, childhood comfort, certain freedoms, body changes, specific roles).

Session 3: My Compass & My Anchor: Finding Stability Amidst Change

Theme: Identifying internal resources, developing self-compassion, and practicing emotional regulation techniques to navigate the instability of adolescence.

Session 4: My Emerging Story: Looking Forward with Resilience

Theme: Consolidating insights, recognizing growth, integrating learned skills, and envisioning a resilient future self.
