Level Up IRL in Atlanta Georgia

Level Up IRL

Middle school can be a challenging time, especially for students who feel anxious in social situations, struggle with confidence, or find connecting with others confusing and overwhelming.

This group offers a safe, low-pressure environment where middle schoolers can build confidence in social situations. This small group meets weekly for 10 weeks and is limited to a maximum of six clients so everyone has time to participate, be seen, and feel supported. We use fun, interactive activities and role-play to learn and practice social skills.

In this group, we focus on progress, not perfection. Mistakes are expected, questions are encouraged, and everyone is welcomed exactly as they are.
