Building Healthy Social Habits

The Social Skills Group aims to help participants develop healthy social habits that enhance their abilities to function both in their residences and the broader community.

Activities Include:

  • “Getting to Know You” Icebreakers
  • Karaoke Competitions
  • Empowerment Center Olympics
  • Theme Dances and Card Tournaments
  • Group Games

Strengthening Problem Solving and Socialization Skills

The program also emphasizes problem-solving training, helping participants effectively manage anger, compromise, resolve conflicts, and use coping skills to avoid verbal or physical altercations. Participants work on increasing boundary awareness to respect the personal space of others, while understanding how their mental health diagnoses can impact socialization.
