Why a support group for children?
Because times have changed. The emotional needs of children growing up in America today are greater than ever before. Growing up with divorce, stepparents, and step siblings, drugs and alcohol, gangs, community violence, absent parents and more. It’s taking its toll.
Goals:
- To teach the skills necessary to understand, talk about, and cope with their life circumstances in healthy and positive ways.
- Encourage children to talk about their experiences in a loving, safe environment.
- Build self-esteem and a sense of trust through relationships with caring adults.
- Influence homes by teaching parents the same skills being taught to their children.
- Guide children and parents into a relationship with God and teach them to value prayer and Scripture as resources.
