Small Groups

Small groups are a wonderful opportunity for students with similar needs to come together and work on various topics.  The topics discussed in small groups could consist of anxiety, coping skills, calming down in high stress situations, listening in the classroom, social skills, friendships, and more.  

Most groups will take place over the lunch period, but some could occur during other times of the day based on student needs and classroom schedules.

Here is a list of potential groups that I will be running this year. Please note that the groups are scheduled based on the demand of each group. If not enough students are signed up, the group may not occur until the next school year.

If you would like your child to participate in any of these groups, please contact me and we can further discuss your concerns and your child's needs!

 Group Topics:

• Stress-Busters: For students who have heightened levels of anxiety about coming to school, new experiences, tests, the weather, etc.
• Super Self: For students who would benefit from social skills practice or an increase in self-esteem.
• Changing Families: For students who have had a recent change in guardianship (Parent separation/divorce, incarceration)
• Grief: For students who have lost someone close to them and are having a hard time coping with it or would like to talk about it.
• Coping Skills: For students who have a difficult time controlling their emotions when they become upset or frustrated.
• Military Families: For students who have a parent or close family member in the military with frequent or extended deployments.
