This group is primarily for those individuals attending our IOP program, but may be attended by others if therapist-referred. The “P3” group focuses on the importance of positivity and play as sources of fulfillment, well-being and overall balance in life. Humor and playful interactions/games are used to promote bonding among group participants, and to “push pause” on the difficult, often painful parts of therapy. Principles of positive psychology, the healing power of laughter, and the importance of interactive “non-performance” play are the hallmarks of this interactive group.
