We look forward to welcoming you and your kiddos to the Pleasantville Office for our I Don't Like Needles: Medical Coping Group on Friday, November 1st, and Friday, November 8th at 3:15 pm.
Contact [email protected] to register. Space is limited.
Up to 25% of people experience a significant needle phobia. This isn’t just about not liking needles. These are real, involuntary, intense physical reactions. As we enter flu/COVID vaccine/allergy shot season, this group is aimed at desensitizing our kiddos so they can receive their necessary shots with ease.
This two session group for kiddos focuses on using play and art making to develop the skills to cope and feel in control when faced with medical interventions (blood draws, shots, doctor visits).
Groups are facilitated by expressive arts therapist and medical desentization specialist Melinda Ferraraccio, LCAT-LP.
Friday 11/1 & 11/8 @ 3:30pm, $250, Pleasantville Office
