Thursday Night Live: A New Empowerment Group for Teen Girls in Pleasant Hill

High school is a whirlwind of social transitions, academic pressure, and the constant search for "where I fit in." At Oak Creek Relational Counseling Center, we know that traditional talk therapy isn’t the only way to grow.

We are excited to announce Thursday Night Live: Empowerment Edition! This unique 8-week drama therapy group is designed specifically for identifying female students in grades 9-12 who are ready to build social confidence and learn healthy boundaries in a space that is as fun as it is transformative.

Why Choose a Drama Therapy Group?Unlike a standard classroom or clinic setting, our group uses drama games and improv to help teens "rehearse" for real-life situations. This creative approach allows participants to:

• Boost Social Confidence: Practice taking up space and speaking up without the fear of being "wrong."
• Set Healthy Boundaries: Use role-play to identify personal limits and communicate them clearly.
• Develop Communication Skills: Improve active listening and non-verbal cues through interactive play.
• Find Community: Connect with peers who are navigating similar high school challenges.

No theater experience is required! This group is about empowerment, not acting ability.
