Group Therapy

Bright FACES runs a number of groups to enhance skills necessary for everyday life such as social skills, fine and gross motor skills, communication and positive parenting.

WHAT IS GROUP THERAPY?

Group Therapy at Bright FACES provides children with a supportive and engaging environment to learn, connect, and grow alongside peers who share similar goals and experiences.
Our group programs are run by qualified facilitators who focus on developing social, emotional, and functional skills in a fun and structured setting.

Group Therapy encourages participation, confidence, and self-awareness. Sessions are designed to help children build meaningful connections, practice communication and problem-solving skills, and apply strategies learned in therapy to real-world social situations.
