The Manchester PIH is hosting a Teen Social/Support group-

This invitation is for all NH PIH councils-

The first meeting will March 12th 7-8:30 PM held at the Manchester VNA- 33 South Commercial St

The Group will be facilitated by Karin Harvey Olson, the age group is 15-25 years - For the meeting we are going to do 45 minutes of “support” and 45 minutes of “social”.  For the first meeting we will do introductions followed by a discussion on family relationships.  Following this will be a time of questions.  Then some time for socialization in which we will do some ice breaker games. One of the topics the teens would like to explore is hosting a dance.

        The name of this group will be discussed at the first meeting-Here are some ideas:

        USS – Uniting for Socialization and Support

        PASS – Peers Awareness Socialization Support

        PUSH – Peers Uniting with Special Healthcare

        PASE – Peers Actively Supporting Each-other

        SHARES – Special Health Awareness Recreation Engaging Supporting

Parents that wish to hang out will be in a different room with a guided topic of discussion.

Refreshments will be served for both groups-

Please RSVP so we have enough goodies for those in attendance- 622-3781 ask for Carmen or Sandra

Manchester will cover the cost of the group until June and at that time we will reassess if we need help from the other councils- but one way your council could help is to givestipends to your families who travel to this group…
