A safe and supportive place for young people to connect with peers.

By Missy Robertson, Publisher Macaroni KID Monroe-West Monroe May 11, 2023

We are always looking for new community resources to share with your family and we have found something wonderful! 

A local business, Clint Davis Counseling and Integrative Wellness is offering, Tween and Teen Summer Support Groups beginning at the end of May 2023. There is even one support group adults can attend too!

Tween and Teen support groups can be beneficial because they provide a safe and supportive space for young people to connect with peers who may be going through similar experiences. These groups can help them develop important emotional skills and build relationships while learning the importance of boundaries and self-care. 

We spoke to Amber Deutsch, M.A., PLPC to learn more about the innovative support groups being offered at Clint Davis Counseling and Integrative Wellness. As we spoke it was evident that she was hip and cool, passionate about her profession, and has come up with some impressive support group topics that we can't wait to share. 

Amber pointed out that the groups will be small and limited to 10 slots in each group session. Once you've decided on the session topic that best meets your child's needs, you can then decide if they will be attending all 8 weeks or if they will be selecting specific topics.
