(See information below about Fees-for-Service if you would like to register today without payment.)

Our Co-Regulation Therapeutic Groups are geared towards self-advocates and caregivers who need to find shared language and shared strategies to work through big emotions. Self-advocate participants must be at least 14 years old. One caregiver (preferably someone who lives in the home or spends a significant amount of time with the self-advocate) will be required to attend each session.

During each session, caregivers and self-advocates will participate in both 1:1 and group learning activities to build emotional regulation skills including identifying body sensations and emotions, engaging in mindful movement, selecting appropriate solutions to everyday challenges, and identifying expected behavior across home and community.

GROUP CAPACITY: Each group will be capped at 8 families. Families will be notified if the group is full and a waiting list has been started.

FEES-for-SERVICE/PAYMENT: No payment is necessary at this time.  Please bypass the payment system by indicating at checkout that you would like to “Pay by Cash”.  The Intake Specialist will contact you to discuss the service and your payment options in more detail.  Billing will occur following completion of a service agreement and a commitment to attend the entire series of sessions.  Monthly payment plans are available for all attendees.  Grant funding is currently available for eligible Jackson and Platte County residents.
