We have a variety of small groups available. Groups allow children to develop coping skills, a sense of belonging and to realize that they are not alone in their concerns.  Groups we run include:

• Banana Splits (for kids from separated and divorced families)
• Anger Management
• Friendship
• Self-Esteem
• Healthy Student (for kids who want to learn how to be more healthy- topics include nutrition, exercise, stress management)
• H.O.P.E.-Helping Overcome Problems Effectively (for kids who need extra help with coping skills and may have difficulty handling their emotions)
• Grief Group- to help support students who have lost a loved one and help them to develop proper coping skills

At the start of each school year we conduct a needs assessment with teachers, parents and students to deteremine which groups are needed most for the school year.  Groups typically run for 7-10 weeks and meet once a week for a 30 minute period.  Times for groups are coordinated with classroom teachers to minimize time away from instruction.

Parents are welcome to refer their child please contact 713-0612 to speak to a Counselor about making a referral.
