Introduction to Group Therapy

Group therapy is a kind of therapy where a group of people talk together with a therapist. It is a place where people can share their stories, feelings, and get support from others who understand what they are going through. At Cross Prairie Boys Ranch, we include group therapy as a main part of our programs. We believe that by sharing experiences and supporting each other, the boys can learn, heal, and grow in a unique way. Group therapy helps them see they are not alone in their struggles and that they can learn important life skills from each other.

In our group therapy sessions, boys learn to express themselves and listen to others. They learn about trust, respect, and how to build strong relationships. Our therapists guide these sessions to make sure they are safe, respectful, and helpful. This type of therapy is a powerful tool in helping the boys at our ranch face their challenges and work towards a better future.

The Structure of Our Group Therapy Sessions

Our group therapy sessions have a clear structure. This helps make sure each session is helpful and focused. We start with a warm-up to help the boys get comfortable and ready to share. Then, the main part of the session involves talking about topics important to the group. This could be about feelings, problems, or experiences the boys are dealing with. Our professional therapists lead these discussions, making sure everyone has a chance to speak and be heard.

The therapists at our ranch are trained to make the sessions safe and supportive. They help the boys learn how to talk about their feelings, give and take feedback, and support each other. Each session ends with a summary or a cool-down activity. This helps the boys think about what they learned and how they can use it in their lives. Our goal is to create a safe space where boys can share and learn from each other.
