Growing up is easier with the right support.
Kid and Teen Groups launch at VITA in 2026: A space where children and teens can build skills, friendships, and confidence, all while being guided by expert therapists.
What’s Coming in 2026:
Skill-Building
Groups that focus on things kids and teens need most: handling big feelings, building social confidence, managing transitions, and practicing independence in everyday life.
Connection
Because kids learn best alongside peers, each group creates safe opportunities for friendship, teamwork, and practicing social skills in real time.
Expert Guidance
Every group is led by our pediatric therapy team and community experts, blending play, movement, and evidence-based strategies designed for real-life carryover at school, at home, and with friends.
Here’s What We’re Cooking Up!
Regulation + Resilience
For kids whose emotions feel “too big” or “too quiet.” These groups help them practice calming strategies, build coping tools, and find their steady ground.
Social Confidence Clubs
Friendship takes practice. These clubs give kids a safe place to try out conversation skills, teamwork, and problem-solving so connections stick outside the clinic, too.
Tween + Teen Life Skills Labs
Organization, independence, self-advocacy. These are the behind-the-scenes skills that make everyday life (and school!) less overwhelming.
Parent + Child Groups
Learn together, practice together. These sessions give you real-time tools while your child gets the same coaching, so everyone’s on the same page at home.
Transitional Programs
For teens stepping into young adulthood. From job readiness to daily living skills, these groups help build the confidence and competence needed for what comes next.
….…and plenty more on the horizon!
