Spring Group Counseling
Stress Management Group
High school students have a lot going on. Schoolwork and studying take up time, especially for honors or AP classes. Students have commitments after-school hours & are likely packed with extracurricular activities, a part-time job, a social life, and spending time with family. This could cause a lot of unwanted stress in a high schooler’s life.
Students will participate in adventure-based counseling, mindfulness, and stress management skills activities in a small group setting for 6-8 weeks to support their understanding of stress management. This group is open to 9th-12th grade students; groups will be upheld at different times depending on numbers of students interested.
|
|
Time Management & Study Skills Group
Students support their own academic success through social emotional learning and academic readiness skills during each group session. Students will have personal reflections with others, track their own academic success and strategies used & support their own learning and growth with time management and studying.
This group is for 9th - 12th graders & is upheld during Miner Blocks over the Spring 2019 semester.
Please contact Ms. Jessica Koltz if you would like to be a part of either of these groups:
