Group Programs
At GroupWorks West we believe group experience enhances social motivation and social competence, promotes positive problem-solving skills, develops strong social communication skills (verbal and non-verbal), and improves self-awareness and self-confidence. Groups provide a forum for members to share social challenges with peers in an atmosphere of confidentiality and mutual support.
