Service Description

SEL3. Confidence Lab: Anxiety, Self-Confidence and Social Relationships (Grades 6-8) Overview: Confidence Lab is a small, supportive group for tweens and early adolescents who struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or confidence in social situations. Many children in this age range want to connect with peers but feel held back by worry about being judged, making mistakes, or not fitting in. This group helps children understand how anxiety and self-confidence impact friendships and peer relationships. Through discussion, interactive activities, and guided practice, participants learn practical tools to manage anxious thoughts, regulate emotions, and feel more confident navigating social and academic situations. Children will learn how to: Manage worry, overthinking, and fear of judgment Build confidence in social and group settings Navigate friendships and peer dynamics more effectively Communicate assertively and set healthy boundaries Cope with mistakes, setbacks, and uncomfortable emotions The group emphasizes skill-building and experimentation, allowing kids to practice new strategies in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. Rather than focusing on perfection, Confidence Lab encourages flexibility, resilience, and self-trust.
