Navigating the complex world of middle school friendships can be exciting, and at times, overwhelming. This lunch-bunch style group is designed specifically for middle school girls to explore the nuances of relationships during a developmental stage where peer connections become especially important.
Over the course of five daily sessions, we will meet during lunchtime (12:00-1:00 PM), providing participants with a supportive space to practice social skills while enjoying lunch together. Students should bring their own lunch each day. Pizza will be provided on Friday to celebrate the last session!
Through games, role-play, discussion, and shared meals, participants will build skills to help them feel more confident and connected in their peer relationships.
Space is limited to ensure a supportive group environment.
