Teen and Young Adult Group forming!  

Who?  Young people with bipolar disorder or other behavioral/mental health disorders between the ages of 17 - 24.

(flexibility with age depending on the individual)  

What? Peer-to-peer support group. We will begin with some open group discussions and let the group decide what direction they would like to take. This group will provide the opportunity for teens and young adults to socialize and share their experiences and mutual support.  

Where? ARC Youth Division at 132 East Putnam Avenue, Cos Cob to start and possibly community outings in the future.  

When? We would like to start as soon as possible. Please reply as soon as you can with the name, age, and contact information of the teen/young adult who is interested in joining this group. Suggested time is early evening one day a week - possibly Mondays or Tuesdays. Please share times/days that would be convenient for you.  

How? The group will be facilitated by Kalan Ross, BA psychology. Kalan has worked as an advocate for young adults in the Center for Independent Living in upstate NY for the past year. She will start the group this summer and we will be looking for a facilitator for the fall.   Please don't hesitate to respond with any questions or comments.
