Group Counselling | Positive Kids

A group can help when children need more than advice.

Group counselling gives children and teens structured therapeutic support while they practise coping, communication, emotional regulation, and peer problem-solving with others.

DBT CALM groups can help children and teens practise regulation, distress tolerance, and coping skills.
Anger management groups support self-control, repair, communication, and safer responses to frustration.
Other specialized groups may be offered based on age, readiness, and current family needs.

Group counselling is therapeutic, structured, and skills-based.

Families can ask whether a child should begin with individual counselling, group counselling, or a social skills group.

DBT CALM groups

Skills-based support for regulation, distress tolerance, coping, emotion naming, and calmer choices.

Anger management groups

Guided practice for noticing triggers, slowing down, communicating needs, and repairing conflict.

Specialized groups

Focused groups may be shaped around anxiety, confidence, behaviour, peer concerns, or readiness for group work.

Parent involvement

Parents may receive guidance so group skills can be supported at home and school.

Who may benefit

Children and teens who need structured practice with emotions, frustration, impulse control, or repeated conflicts.
