Psycho-Educational Groups, Child and Adolescent

Richmond Behavioral Health Authority's (RBHA) Psycho-educational Groups are designed to teach youth among a small cluster of their peers. Children and adolescents are most influenced by their peers, which makes these groups especially effective at reinforcing and practicing positive social skills. Youth learn how to make friends, calmly disagree, resolve conflict peacefully, share, listen, and more. They will also have a support system of peers who will promote positive behaviors outside of the group setting.  

Each program follows a pro-social skills curriculum that offers a wide variety of group activities in the areas below:

• Communication
• Self-Esteem
• Positive Relationships
• Responsibility
• Emotions
• Conflict Resolution
• Stress Management
