Small Group Counseling

Group counseling is offered throughout the school year. Small groups help children learn coping skills, further develop skills in certain areas, and provide an opportunity to learn from other students. Groups encourage children to help each other, share ideas, and develop life skills. The sessions are interactive and based on the specific needs of group members. While the sessions are designed to be beneficial for all students, only a select number of students are invited to participate in groups due to time limitations. The majority of group referrals come through teacher recommendation and grade level needs assessments. Topics depend on student need but may include friendship skills, school success skills, family changes, anxiety, or self-esteem.

*Parent permission is always requested before a child may participate in a group.
