Summer Teen Group Therapy Workshops (Ages 13-17)

A weekly in-person group gives teens a welcoming place to slow down, connect, and build lasting emotional skills over the summer. Designed for ages 13 to 17, each session stands on its own, so participants can drop in any week without a long commitment. Every meeting focuses on a fresh theme like understanding emotions, navigating friendships, managing stress, and recognizing personal strengths. Activities lean on art, movement, music, games, and open conversation rather than lectures or graded worksheets, creating a supportive environment where teens can be themselves. The teen curriculum also explores identity, self-awareness, clear communication, boundary setting, and creating a personal toolkit for tough moments. Group work helps participants feel less alone, listen to peers, and practice social and emotional skills in real time. Sessions are facilitated by associate clinicians under the supervision of a licensed therapist at Quail Lakes Community Counseling. The series includes thirteen self-contained sessions in a drop-in format, so families can choose the days that fit. The cost is $35 per session, with bundle options available, including 5 sessions for $150, 4 sessions for $120, or all 13 sessions for $375, each offering savings compared with paying per session. Space is limited. A brief screening call is used to reserve a spot, and after online registration staff will follow up by phone and email with required documentation.

The Evolution of the Flamingo’s Smile

Christopher Torres, PhD, an assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of the Pacific, presents a talk on how the flamingo’s distinctive smile and beak evolved, why these birds became so highly specialized, and how their history intersects with broader changes in Earth’s past. He will trace the puzzles that still surround flamingo origins and fossils, then explain how recent work clarified that grebes are their closest living relatives after centuries of uncertainty. The presentation explores what came before flamingos and grebes despite a remarkably complete fossil from that pivotal moment, the rise and disappearance of unusual straight beaked flamingos that once ranged nearly worldwide, and how the ancestors of today’s curved beak species nearly vanished before spreading again across the globe. It also looks at a time when flamingos filled habitats along California and the West Coast only tens of thousands of years ago, and highlights the remarkable changes in beak form that chicks undergo after hatching, a window into the earliest stages of flamingo life. This event takes place at Central United Methodist Church.
