Life on Purpose Groups
Life on Purpose groups will be held in an interactive, comfortable setting where we will use a Christian lens to discuss life issues that affect young women. Life on Purpose groups are small groups of adolescent girls who learn to share their individual experiences in a safe, professionally led environment. During these sessions group members will learn life skills and openly discuss how to incorporate Christian values into their daily decisions. These groups are for young women in the Austin area and will be led by Jayne Norton, LCSW.
Life on Purpose Vision
To Empower Young Women To:
~Learn to honor themselves as valuable members of society
~Embrace their strength and beauty
~Learn what it means to walk in integrity
~Practice being slow to judge and quick to forgive
~Live with a balance of confidence and humility
~Interact with truth and grace
~Take an optimistic view of the world
~Have healthy relationships through the knowledge of God’s love
~Be both empathetic and have healthy boundaries
~Enthusiastically take on life
~Moderate their own peace and wellness
Life on Purpose groups are designed to encourage each young woman to understand her purpose in life. I believe in living purposefully, and I have a passion for supporting young women in their often challenging teenage years. It is a goal and a hope of mine to help each group member see who they are through God's eyes. I will support the young ladies I work with to value themselves, and to be able to interact with others with wisdom and grace. I look forward to using my counseling experience to enhance the emotional growth, relational knowledge, self care skills, and faith exploration of these young women. Of course all of this will take place in a warm setting where we will incorporate fun into our time together.
Group topic choices will include:
Relationships
Communication
Mood Management
Physical and Emotional Boundaries
Social Media Discernment
Drug/ Alcohol Use
Assertiveness
Self Respect
Thinking Errors
Accountability
Self Care
