Friendship Groups / Lunch Bunch


Some students are referred for friendship groups that are led by a school counselor.

These referrals can come from school staff, parents, or students themselves.

These short-term groups usually last 8 weeks and are an opportunity for peers to get to know each other in a small group setting and work on many different friendship skills, such as, playing fair, turn taking, listening to others, sharing, and other important life skills.
