Beyond Walking On Eggshells Group for Caregivers
This group is for parents and caregivers of children and teens who are struggling emotionally or behaviourally — and for parents who feel like they are constantly walking on eggshells.
Parenting through big emotions can feel overwhelming and isolating. Many parents describe feeling stuck, unsure how to help, or worried that every response might make things worse.
This group offers a supportive space to slow things down and build practical, emotion-focused skills to help you better understand your teen’s emotional world — while staying grounded in your own. Rather than focusing on “fixing” behaviour, the group supports parents in responding to emotions in ways that reduce escalation, strengthen connection, and support emotional growth.
This group will be will be offered either as a two-day virtual workshop or an eight-week virtual group, depending on interest. Joining the waitlist is free and carries no obligation — it simply helps us plan dates and group formats.

At Vault Psychotherapy Services, our therapy groups and workshops offer a powerful way to grow, connect, and heal alongside others facing similar challenges. Whether you're a teen navigating emotions or a parent supporting your child, group therapy can help you feel less alone and more understood.
Our groups are a mix of learning (psycho-education) and real-time connection (process-focused). We explore what’s happening in the moment—what you're feeling, how you're reacting, and what might be getting in the way of change. Sharing space with others who “get it” can be a deeply validating and motivating experience.
We focus on creating a safe, supportive space where honesty and vulnerability are encouraged. You'll learn to listen with empathy, speak your truth, and discover that change is possible—not just for others, but for you too.
Group therapy is also a cost-effective and proven alternative to individual therapy. If you're ready to explore a new way forward, we invite you to join one of our upcoming groups or workshops.
FAQs

It’s not unusual to feel uneasy or embarrassed when first joining a group, but soon you begin to develop feelings of interest and trust. Most clients find that group therapy provides a great deal of relief because it allows them a chance to talk with and listen to others who are experiencing similar problems- in a private, confidential setting. Many people who have experienced group therapy believe that working together with others is helpful and they feel better by participating in this form of therapy. We understand that it can be intimidating to sign up for a group but if you have reservations speak to your therapist about how you might benefit from attending one of our groups.

Therapy is effective because individuals feel safe to share private information in a confidential atmosphere. A safe environment is created and maintained by both the group facilitator(s) and its members. Mutual respect and a chance to create trust are primary goals of the group process. Providing a safe environment is based on confidentiality. All group members are expected to respect the confidentiality of the group. Group members are asked to make a commitment to protect each other’s confidentiality by agreeing not to divulge information that would violate the identity of others outside the group. While the group leaders cannot guarantee absolute confidentiality (since we cannot control the behavior of group members), we find that members are usually very respectful of each other’s privacy.
