Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Independent Living of the Genesee Region (ILGR) in Batavia, will soon begin a six-week late afternoon Youth Support Group for teens between 14 and 18 years old with a disability.  It will take place from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM on Thursdays from June 27th<\/sup> to August 8th<\/sup> (with a week off on July 4th<\/sup>) at the Independent Living office in the Crickler Executive Business Center, 319 West Main Street (look for the green awning) Batavia, NY 14020.  It is a free program, and a light dinner will be provided.  Transportation may be available with registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is designed to provide a SAFE space for youth to: socialize with peers; work in a group and independently; learn tools for working through difficult emotions; and gain resources for support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A novel aspect of this program is that we will be using the \u201cExpress It\u201d journal to work through different topics such as feelings and emotions each week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that this is not \u201ctherapy\u201d, it is a self-directed group that allows the use of artistic expression with a group of peers; HOWEVER participants do not<\/strong> have to be \u201cartistic\u201d to attend; we encourage all to participate and find your own tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED, Space is limited. PLEASE CONTACT: April Fearby, Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs Program Specialist at 585-815-8501, ext. 401, or via email afearby@wnyil.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with ILGR our co-sponsors are the Young Leaders and Advocates Network and the Genesse & Orleans County Health Departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Independent Living of the Genesee Region (ILGR) is a member of the Western New York Independent Living, Inc. family of agencies that offers an expanding array of services to aid individuals with disabilities to take control of their own lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
