Find A Village: Grow and Thrive Together

Everybody needs the support of their friends! At Sankofa Behavioral Health, our peer group therapy sessions create safe, structured spaces where clients can learn, play, and grow alongside others.

Behavior is strongly influenced by social interaction, and our guided peer group sessions are designed to boost a variety of developmental skills. Through meaningful engagement with others, clients gain real-time opportunities to:

  • Build connections through shared experiences

  • Learn through imitation and modeling

  • Practice communication and relationship-building skills

Why Peer Group Therapy Matters

Peer group therapy encourages personal growth by fostering a sense of belonging and social confidence. Clients who participate in group sessions often experience:

  • Improved emotional regulation

  • Increased self-esteem and self-advocacy

  • Enhanced problem-solving and conflict-resolution skills

  • A stronger sense of empathy and understanding

Our therapists guide each session with intention, creating a supportive environment where clients can thrive socially and emotionally.

Who Can Benefit from Peer Groups?

Our peer group sessions are tailored to meet the needs of:

  • Children, teens, and young adults navigating social skill challenges

  • Individuals working on building peer relationships

  • Clients seeking to improve communication and collaboration

A Collaborative, Play-Based Approach

Play is a powerful tool for learning and connection. Our peer groups use evidence-based techniques to foster growth, including:

  • Structured social games and activities

  • Role-playing and guided practice

  • Group discussions and reflective conversations

These activities help reinforce positive social interactions while building transferable skills for home, school, and the community.
