This group helps teens with Autism better understand and manage their emotions. Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, participants will learn how emotions work, why they feel so intense at times, and how to respond in ways that are helpful rather than overwhelming or reactive.
Through hands-on activities, discussion, and real-life examples, teens will practice skills to identify and label emotions, reduce emotional vulnerability, and shift intense feelings before they escalate. Strategies may include building positive experiences, increasing emotional awareness, and using tools to change or regulate emotions in the moment.
The goal is to help youth feel more in control of their emotional responses, improve confidence in handling challenging situations, and build a stronger sense of stability in their day-to-day lives.
Teens must be comfortable in a group setting of 4 teens to 1 staff.
