The QUEST (Quest for Understanding Emotion regulation, Social skills, and Teamwork) Group brings adventurers together to practice the essential skills used in developing and maintaining meaningful connections. We lead the youth in playing Dungeons & Dragons which gives them opportunities to practice the core skills: regulation, collaboration, planning ahead, flexibility, perspective-taking, and imagination. The goal is that youth have fun while practicing skills they can bring into their everyday life. This is a small group and space is limited.
Each QUEST will last 10 sessions.
