Waypoint has several group options for school aged youth to adults. They are focused on teaching skills to help empower participants to function better in their lives.
Groups run for 6-8 weeks and are held after-school, in-person, in either our Annapolis or Severna Park offices.
These groups are not billed to insurance. They are billed as a package and cost approximately $50-75 per group depending on the experience/degree of the group facilitator.

Attention and Executive Function Workshop for Teens
This group is designed as an experiential weekly workshop for adolescents ages 13–17 who are struggling with managing ADHD or problems with executive functioning skills. When the brain struggles with these skills, schoolwork or helping at home can be difficult. The goal is to create an environment where teens feel respected, understood, and empowered to explore their strengths while developing practical skills they can use in the “real world.” We will work to build executive functioning skills like:
- In-the-moment problem solving
- Attention
- Flexible thinking
- Emotional control
- Planning and organization
- Monitoring and correcting oneself in the moment
- Thinking before acting.
Each member is viewed as the expert on their own experiences. The facilitator’s role is to guide discussion, foster meaningful connections, introduce new concepts naturally, and provide opportunities for members to practice new skills in real time. We emphasize authenticity over perfection. Members are encouraged to participate at their own pace while being challenged to step outside of their comfort zones in a supportive environment.
- Serving adolescents 13-17 years old, who struggle with executive functioning. The age range will be more restricted once interest is gathered.
- Participants will learn and practice various skills to build executive functioning.
- Facilitated by Lizzie Pierce, MA

The Connections Workshop
The Connections Workshop is designed for young adults who experience difficulties with peer relationships, social confidence, and meaningful interpersonal connections. Many participants struggle with initiating conversations, maintaining friendships, navigating social anxiety, interpreting social cues, managing conflict, or developing a sense of belonging within their peer groups. Through guided discussion, experiential activities, and supportive peer interaction, participants will increase self-awareness, strengthen communication skills, build social confidence, and develop healthier relationship patterns. The workshop provides a safe and supportive environment to practice interpersonal skills, process social challenges, explore barriers to connection, and foster authentic relationships. Participants will learn evidence-based strategies to improve social functioning, increase emotional regulation in social situations, and enhance their ability to create and maintain fulfilling peer relationships.
