Intensive Workshops at SRA

Spring Ridge Academy is proud to announce the addition of Therapeutic Intensive Workshops. These workshops are designed by our therapeutic team to enhance the sophisticated therapeutic techniques already utilized at Spring Ridge Academy. Workshops will be facilitated by therapists and incorporate various modalities including: art, body movement, dance, psychodrama, experiential initiatives, and team building. These workshops are three days in duration and focus on five specific areas:

• Anxiety and Depression-This workshop focuses on relief of physiological and emotional symptoms common with anxiety and depression, as well as strategies reducing underlying causes of anxiety and depression.
• Chemical Dependency- This workshop focuses on educating students about the impact and effect of substance abuse, develops skills for relapse prevention, and increases understanding of underlying issues that make substance abuse an acceptable coping skill.
• Relationships and Sexuality- This workshop examines aspects of romantic and sexual relationships and has a focus on developing boundaries, self respect, values, and self esteem.
• Trauma- This intensive is aimed at reducing triggers and mitigating the emotional impact of traumatic events from the past.
• Body Image- This workshop enhances our students’ acceptance and appreciation of their body. It also explores the impact of negative media stereotypes and other unrealistic expectations of the “perfect body”.

We feel these workshops will allow students to immerse in a specific subject, and improve their development of coping strategies and resources. All five workshops will be given four times a year during academic breaks. Students will attend workshops on the various topics throughout their stay at Spring Ridge Academy.
