Wellness Grit
A weekly therapy group for teens (ages 12-17) who experience chronic pain, led by members of our Health Psychology team.
Did you know that the majority of children and teens suffering from chronic pain in the US are girls? Our Wellness Grit group is designed for teens who would like to connect with other peers who are navigating life with some kind of chronic pain. Together, the kids & teens will gain and give support and build some useful tools for meeting the stresses unique to their lives. Skills for self-advocacy and building resources are included.
