Small Group Counseling
Small Group Counseling
Small group counseling is a service provided to students by invitation from the school counselor or by request from teacher or parent. The needs of the students in the groups will dictate specific topics covered, but the primary focus will remain on developing safe, respectful, and responsible behavior.
Written parent permission will be requested before including a student in small group counseling.
Confidentiality is an important part of small group work, but it can be a difficult concept for kids. Each student can feel free to discuss with parents the topic of group or what he or she said in group, but not what other students have shared. Small groups are for openly sharing and problem-solving.
