The tween years can bring changing friendships, bigger feelings and new social situations. This group offers support for children ages 11–13 who could use a welcoming place to practise skills and spend time with peers.
We welcome tweens navigating ADHD, autism, anxiety, social worries or a difficult season. No diagnosis is required.
Alicia considers age and stage, interests, goals, communication style and the current group mix. Your first conversation is a chance to ask questions and explore fit.
No. A diagnosis is not required. We consider your child’s age, stage, support needs and fit with the group.
Let Alicia know when you enquire. You can talk through what sessions involve and discuss your child’s concerns before deciding whether to register.
The November group runs on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Alicia will confirm availability and fit before registration.
Alicia will follow up for a brief conversation about your tween, your questions and current availability. Enquiring does not commit you to registering or paying. If the best-fit group is full, you can ask about a waitlist or a future group.
