What's Bugging You: an anxiety-focused group workshop

The transition from Grade 6 to Grade 7 is a major developmental milestone. As students prepare to enter junior high, they are faced with new academic expectations, unfamiliar social environments, changing routines, and increased independence. For many children, this shift can bring up feelings of worry, overwhelm, or anxiety—especially during the summer when anticipatory stress can build.

This workshop is designed to help students understand their anxiety, build practical coping tools, and grow confidence as they prepare for a new school environment. By addressing anxiety before school begins, children are better equipped to handle the pressures of junior high, build positive friendships, and start the year with a sense of emotional readiness and resilience.

Our goal is to provide a supportive space where children can learn, share, and practice skills to manage anxious thoughts and feelings—while also normalizing the transition and fostering a sense of community.

Join Stefani and Jordyn in this next chapter of your child's emotional growth!
