Rise & Regulate

Social and Emotional Skills Group for Kids

Helping kids grow strong minds and confident hearts.

Sometimes kids carry big feelings they don’t yet know how to manage. Frustration, stress, anxiety, and social challenges can make everyday situations—school, friendships, and family life—feel overwhelming.

As a parent, it’s hard to watch your child struggle and not know exactly how to help.

You want them to feel confident.
You want them to handle stress better.
You want them to build friendships and believe in themselves.

The good news?

Your child doesn’t have to figure it out alone.

The Rise & Regulate Social and Emotional Skills Group is designed to help kids learn practical tools for understanding their emotions, building resilience, and navigating the social world with confidence.

Is Your Child Struggling With…

Big emotions that seem difficult to manage?

Low confidence or self-doubt?

Stress at school or in friendships?

Feeling overwhelmed or shutting down when things get hard?

Many kids simply haven’t been taught the emotional tools they need yet. And that’s okay.

In this group, we create a supportive environment where kids can-

learn, practice, and grow together.

Your child will develop skills such as:

  • Emotional regulation

  • Building emotional resilience

  • Increasing confidence

  • Developing social skills

  • Managing stress

  • Learning healthy coping strategies

  • Building a positive mindset

  • Strengthening problem-solving skills

These tools can make a lasting difference—not just now, but throughout their teenage years and into adulthood.

This group is led by Kristen Walker, LMFT, who brings a warm, child-centered approach
