Programs and Services Designed to Guide At-Risk Kids and Teens

The Kennedy Group has developed a cutting-edge modality that is based on the most current research in behavioral treatment. This approach is derived from positive psychology with a concentration on resiliency training. We are a government certified contractor as well so if you think we might be a good fit for your needs, please reach out and let's talk!”

Therapeutic After-School

Based on the philosophy of positive psychology, our after-school curriculum helps build resiliency in young adolescents and teens. We strive to foster a better way for youth to deal with adversities due to day-to-day stressors.

Our four-hour after-school program provides supervision and therapeutic intervention. Through this model, students learn to detect and evaluate inaccurate thoughts as well as challenge negative beliefs by considering alternative interpretations.

Teaching Life Skills

At our organization, we help students learn various abilities that can be applied in their relationships and other life situations. We teach them strategies for negotiating, decision-making, problem-solving, and coping with difficult emotions.

Presenting Concepts Creatively

Our team introduces skills in various ways, such as short stories, role plays, skits, and cartoons.

Motivating Growth

The students will practice with hypothetical examples demonstrating the relevance of the ability to real-world situations once they have a firm grasp of the ideas. As part of their weekly homework, we encourage them to use the new skills in their everyday life.

Gang Resiliency Program

In this 16-week program, we work hard to provide intervention for at-risk youth who are affiliated with or suspected of gang activity. We take a holistic approach to gang modality and conduct resiliency training to address outside factors that influence the behavior of young people.

Substance Abuse Treatment

Addiction affects different areas of life. To help substance abusers, we equip them with a new way of thinking and applying the tools needed to get through life experiences. These skills will assist each participant in the fight against addiction.

Life Coaching

This is a 12-week program that provides individuals with tools for handling day-to-day stressors. With this procedure, we help young people develop daily resiliency skills and buildable behaviors to address changes in everyday situations. We have a certified master resiliency trainer to help kids and teens move forward through life’s difficult choices.

Customized Services

Our customized services are built upon resiliency training through positive psychology. We will provide the appropriate support and focus on the needs of each individual.
