Children Group Therapy
Social relationships are an extremely important part of children's development, and their absence is a risk factor for their mental health and academic success. The feeling of loneliness damages the child's self-image, causes a low mood and deprives him of social support, appreciation and affection.
The purpose of the workshop - personal growth. The workshop allows participants to talk about their difficulties freely, get to know themselves better, learn social skills, expand social circles and create intimacy with friends.
