Teen Talk (TT) is the Special Topics

Teen Talk (aka Special Topics) is a social meetup program designed with Teen issues in mind! Staff will cover a series of social topics teens typically have challenges with but in a relaxed manner so that teens do not feel like they “are in a therapy group.” Often topics revolve around how to build and maintain social relationships with others, staying involved, getting involved, and what we personally bring to the table that may hinder or slow this down.

  • This is a discussion based social event that has ice breaker activities mixed in with topic talk times and a relaxed social freetime to discuss what they want to!
  • This program is best suited for those that are verbal enough to understand and discuss topics or considered to be “high functioning.”
  • Open to individuals enrolled in 6th-12th.
