Gen-Z and Therapy: Competent Care with Tweens and Teens in 2023

This workshop is designed to equip play therapists with the knowledge and strategies they need to effectively work with today’s adolescents, as well as train parents on how to communicate and connect with their adolescent. This workshop will review the impact of challenges faced by today’s teens including the pandemic, social media/technology, racial inequality, and political tension.

We will also explore generational views held be many members of G2n-Z including social diversity concerns such as LGBTQ+, and how these might be impacting the therapeutic relationship with the therapists of different generations.

This workshop will also provide practical skills for play therapists on how to use the play therapy principles of praise, reflect, and describe tailored specifically to adolescents. Lastly, this workshop will discuss how play therapists can use these skills to coach parents on connecting effectively with their teenagers.

    • Dear Parent/Guardian:

      Your student has been referred to the School Counseling Telehealth Program with Building Blocks Family Counseling. This is a collaboration between the Effingham School System and Building Blocks Family Counseling- a mental health private practice with locations in Savannah, Pooler, and Rincon.

      How does it work?

      A referral will be sent from your student’s school counselor to Building Blocks. You will receive a call from our office to set up an appointment, get insurance information, complete paperwork, etc. An online intake appointment will be scheduled for your student during the school day (based on times provided by the school counselor). An online intake appointment will also be scheduled between your student’s therapist and yourself to gather information regarding your student. The Therapist will schedule routine parent/guardian check-ins with you and family sessions as needed. Sessions with students will generally be weekly (during school hours) and last for 30-45 minutes. Parent/Guardian sessions can be held during or after school hours and last for 45-50 minutes.

      Paperwork Needed

      In order to provide these services we need the following paperwork completed for each student. A new client intake packet, child/adolescent questionnaire, and a release of information for the school counselor. We will be coordinating sessions with your student through the school counselors at their school so it is important we have the release of information completed.

      Appointments

      Appointment reminders via email, text, and phone will be sent the day before any scheduled appointments. Please make sure we have the best contact information on file so you will receive all of the reminders.

      If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to address these with your therapist. If you feel like your student no longer needs services, please also communicate this with your therapist.
