In-Tune Groups 2024
Grounded in science and nourished in the heart, the Center for Family Well Being’s “In-Tune” Groups harness the power of the mind-body connection in kids, tweens, teens, and young adults.
Our In-Tune Groups cultivate skills of emotional awareness, self-compassion, and relational attunement with self and others. We focus on building the foundations of well-being through healthy habits of self-care and opportunities for authentic connection with peers.
The Center offers both ongoing In-Tune Groups that meet weekly during the school year, as well as frequent, shorter Group sessions. Our January 2024 enrollment period is now underway! Have questions?
