Groups & Workshops
At The Samaritan Center at the Jersey Shore, we believe healing, growth, and resiliency can happen not only through individual counseling, but also through connection, education, and shared experiences.
Our groups and workshops are designed to provide supportive spaces where children, teens, adults, parents, couples, and families can learn new skills, gain insight, build community, and feel less alone in the challenges they face.
Mental Health Education & Outreach
Mental health awareness extends beyond the therapy office. Through community partnerships and educational programming, we work to reduce stigma, increase understanding, and empower individuals with practical tools to support emotional wellness.
We also collaborate with local school districts to provide age-appropriate mental health education that promotes awareness, prevention, and early intervention.
By equipping students, caregivers, and educators with knowledge and resources, we aim to foster supportive environments where young people can thrive both academically and emotionally.
Programs can be tailored to meet the needs of schools, community organizations, faith communities, and local groups.
Whether you are seeking counseling services, looking for groups or workshops, educational opportunities within the community, or searching for guidance on where to begin, we are here to help
