Life Skills for Healthy Relationships

Atlantic Street Center’s Counseling Department recently began a new group called “Life Skills For Healthy Relationships” and it has been a big hit for teen girls aged 13-18!  “We currently have 23 participants and the number continues to grow every week,” says Caroline Plummer, therapist at Atlantic Street Center and the group’s facilitator. The group has a packed curriculum that covers teen dating violence, safety planning, navigating the legal process, protection orders, and many other topics. “We have had two guest speakers come to speak to this group of young ladies about their own experience of domestic violence and what they did to get out and become self-sustaining,” says Caroline. “The young women are very engaged in our group and we definitely will need to offer this class again!”
