CONNECT . GROW . THRIVE is a therapeutic workshop series created by Pelican Cove Counseling Center. The series was crafted to ignite engagement and stimulate creativity, resulting in a deeper connection with oneself and the community. With a selection of twelve workshops to choose from, the typical series consists of five workshops held once a week for five weeks. However, the program can be customized to cater to the unique requirements of different communities. Each workshop entails a creative activity, journaling (all participants receive a journal at the start of the series), and therapeutic guidance.
CONNECT . GROW . THRIVE was designed for children and young adults by offering a range of strategies and interventions to address mental health challenges. One key aspect is providing a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to express their emotions and concerns. This can be done through various interactive activities such as art therapy, creative writing, mindfulness, group discussions, body movement and role-playing exercises.
