After each session, parents will receive an email with a summary of what was covered in group, along with recommendations on how they can support their teen at home. While confidentiality is a core part of this group, please note that if there are safety concerns, such as risk of harm to self or others, appropriate steps will be taken to ensure the teen's well-being. The emails will focus on reinforcing skills rather than disclosing specific personal discussions, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all participants.
