In today’s world, kids often learn how to be friends, listen to others, or check in on their feelings and those of others by trial and error, or not at all. Nobody teaches them these skills.

There’s a gentler, way more fun way for kids to learn, practice, and explore emotional and relational skills— that’s exactly where the Feelings and Friends Group comes in! Our Feelings and Friends program is unique in Calgary, in offering a safe space for kids to learn these essential life skills in a processing group setting.

Here are four features that make this group stand out:

1. Small group, big impact

Kids work in small groups, which means personalized attention and a stronger sense of community. This setting helps children build confidence and leadership skills and fosters real connections.

2. Emotional exploration

Feelings matter! This group teaches kids how to express their emotions, understand their own feelings, and relate to others. They learn the art of being a good friend—listening, empathizing, and supporting one another.

3. Child-led learning

The program is designed to be child-led, meaning kids are encouraged to make decisions, understand social cues, and have their voices heard. It’s all about empowering them to navigate social situations with resilience and positivity.

4. Fun and unique activities

With the guidance of a facilitator, children engage in real-time problem-solving, planning, and teamwork. They learn and grow together, developing emotional and relational skills as they play and celebrate team success. We have exciting, themed days like PJ Day and Beach Day that add an extra layer of fun!

If you’re searching for a program that doesn’t just teach social skills but also nurtures emotional intelligence and helps them practice with other Superhero kids, the Feelings and Friends Group is the perfect choice to give your child the tools to succeed both socially and emotionally.
