Support Groups and Group Counseling  
   
 

Interacting in groups helps us to see ourselves in new ways and to learn from others. Family & Children Services offers specially focused support groups and group counseling.

Services:

Conflict Accountability (Anger Management)
Participants learn to understand their emotions and make positive choices. The group works on positive communication, building healthy relationships, and understanding the decisions they make. Currently this group is offered in English. Groups can form in other languages. This group is part of the Positive Solutions program. Individual counseling can also provide an effective way to explore these feelings and learn new tools and skills.

Divorce and Separation Support Groups
The process of separation and divorce is difficult on many levels. This group, which is led by a marriage and family therapist, chooses its topics based on participant interest; it always provides resources and a place of support. Sample topics include: healing, challenging situations, strengths, children’s process, and the future.

Groups begin throughout the year and meet for 6-8 weeks at our Palo Alto office. Fees are set on a sliding scale. For information on the group and upcoming dates, please call Nancy at 650-326-6576 x 5503. View and print flyer
