Group Counseling:
This service is offered during the school day. Group counseling is a great tool that provides students with the opportunity to express their feelings, learn helpful strategies and share experiences with their peers in similar situations. Most of all, group counseling helps kids to know that they are not alone. Sessions rotate through the periods so that students do not miss the same class repeatedly. The Counseling Department announces different groups available to students throughout the school year. In the past we have offered groups on a variety of topics such as stress management, study skills, grief and divorce. Students can be a part of group counseling by teacher, parent or self referral. Parent permission is required.
