Resilient Youth

Drawing from well-established, evidence-based interventions to manage stress and build resilience in children and adolescents, the Child Resiliency Program at Mass General Hospital is offering Resilient Youth workshops to youth in the Mass General Brigham network and to children of MGB employees.  Separate small-group meetings are offered for youth in Elementary (Grades 1-4), Middle (Grades 5-8), and High School (Grades 9-12). Groups are 45 minutes and are held on Wednesdays beginning October 9th and running for 6 weeks.  The cost is $125 per participant. 

During these sessions, educators will discuss physical and cognitive responses to stress, and will provide opportunities to develop and practice self-care and resiliency skills to buffer stress and improve well-being.
