Tri-County Council For Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault is beginning a new teen support group with its first meeting Tuesday afternoon.
Braden Bayne-Allison says while talking recently with teens, they asked them what what they needed if something bad happens in the neighborhood...
?
"....there were some themes, and the themes were friends, non-judgemental environments, family, love, understanding was a big, over-arching theme. The kids felt they needed some understanding, someone they could talk to...."
He says they want to have a safe and confidential environment were the teens could talk to each other with some facilitation and get their emotions out about what has happened. Topics will be open depending on what the group wishes to discuss.
The first meeting is Tuesday, March 24 beginning at 3:30 p.m. at the YMCA of the Northwoods. Food will be provided.
More information is available by calling Bayne-Allison at Tri-County Council at 715-362-6841.
