Children and Youth Therapeutic Services

NOT Your Average Teen Groups

Three FREE ways for Jackson County teens to connect, build confidence, explore who they are, and prepare for what’s next.

🌎 Becoming Me Across Cultures

Ages 13-19

For teens figuring out who they are while navigating family, culture, friendships, expectations, and the pressure to be different versions of themselves in different spaces. We’ll talk about identity, belonging, confidence, and how to stay true to yourself when everyone seems to have an opinion about who you should be. Great for multicultural households!

In-Person or Telehealth! Sessions will be held from 3:45–5:00 PM on:

  • Wednesday, September 16: Who I Am & Who I’m Becoming
  • Wednesday, September 23: Different Places & Different Sides of Me
  • Wednesday, October 7: Expectations, Needs & Choices

*There will be no session on Wednesday, September 30.

🎓 Prepare to Launch | Teens preparing for adulthood

Because turning 18 doesn’t magically teach you how to be an adult! This group gives teens a space to talk honestly about independence, relationships, decision-making, money, responsibilities, goals, and what they actually want their life to look like as they get older.

In-Person or Telehealth! Sessions will be held from 4:00–5:00 PM on:

  • Wednesday, October 14: What Am I Launching Toward?
  • Wednesday, October 21: What Will My Life Require?
  • Wednesday, October 28: How Will I Make It Work?
  • Wednesday, November 4: What Will I Do When Life Doesn’t Go as Planned?

🎲 Quest Club

Ages 14-19

Quest Club uses D&D-style cooperative storytelling to put teens in situations where they have to make choices, solve problems, communicate, work through conflict, and figure things out together. Their decisions actually shape what happens next in the story, so no two sessions are quite the same. No D&D or role-playing experience needed!

What We’ll Practice:
Communication • Teamwork • Problem-Solving • Perspective-Taking • Emotional Regulation • Decision-Making • Leadership • Confidence • Navigating Uncertainty

Sessions will be held from 4:00–5:00 PM on Wednesdays starting November 11, 2026.
