Group Therapy | Session 2

Greetings friends! Sarah of Yo Soy Ella held another impactful group therapy session with some youth of Proviso. In this session, Sarah led a conversation about expectations. Expectations could be in relation to ourselves, society, family, school, and more. Yet, before that, Sarah did her weekly check-ins to see how the last session may have brought on reflections. Continuing on, Sarah started the conversation by asking what expectations the youth were feeling more recently. Toward the end of the session, Sarah asked our youth how can we, as adults, limit these expectations.

Sarah always does an amazing job of connecting with our youth and creating a safe space. If you know a young adult who may be interested in group therapy, have them RSVP. Our next session is Saturday, February 11th from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. See you soon!

Making the ask

Sarah from Yo Soy Ella came in and talked to our summer mentees about the importance of self advocating. The mentees learned that speaking up when they need help whether it be mental or physical is super important for their wellbeing. Sarah talked the mentees through 5 scenarios about making the ask.

Thank you Sarah for talking about self advocacy!

Progress Over Perfection Workshop

With Sarah from the non-profit, Yo Soy Ella, the interns learned about the value of overcoming perfectionism. They talked about their experiences with perfectionism and discussed ways to conquer it, such as switching to a growth mindset. Thank you Sarah for guiding us towards becoming comfortable with imperfection!
