Educational & Wellness Groups: Learn, Grow, & Thrive Together

Interactive group experiences focused on building skills, knowledge, and community for lifelong wellness.

Educational and wellness groups combine learning with peer support, offering structured programs that focus on skill-building, personal development, and overall well-being.

These interactive sessions provide practical tools and strategies while fostering connection and community among participants who share similar goals for growth and wellness

THE TESS APPROACH TO EDUCATIONAL & WELLNESS GROUPS

At TESS, our educational and wellness groups are designed with both learning and healing in mind.

We recognize that knowledge and skill-building are most effective when they occur within a supportive, trauma-informed environment that honors each participant's unique experiences and learning style.

Our groups blend evidence-based psychoeducation with experiential learning, interactive discussions, and practical skill practice. We incorporate mindfulness techniques, somatic awareness, and strength-based approaches that help participants not only learn new concepts but also integrate them into their daily lives.

Our skilled facilitators create an atmosphere that is both educational and therapeutic, where participants feel safe to ask questions, share experiences, and support one another's growth. We understand that sustainable change happens through both understanding and practice, so our groups provide ongoing opportunities to apply new skills and receive feedback from both facilitators and peers.

Whether focusing on stress management, parenting strategies, communication skills, emotional regulation, or life transitions, our groups are designed to be both informative and transformative, helping participants develop lasting tools for wellness and resilience.
