Counselor's Corner
Counseling Groups
I will begin small group counseling groups in January. I am beginning to compile lists of students for groups. If any of the groups below would benefit your child please let me know (deena.michael@fcps.org). Please know that your request does not mean that the group will happen. Groups are based on academic impact as well as scheduling. I try to accommodate as many students as possible, but sometimes it does not work. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Family Changes: This group is for students who are going through family changes. These students are affected by divorce or separation of their parents or maybe a recent remarriage etc.
Worries: This group is for students who are experiencing anxiety or worry. We focus on strategies to help with worries and anxiety in the school and home setting.
Zones of Regulation: This group is for students who need assistance with their emotions. They may be explosive or need help with strategies for calming down. They might also struggle with change or transitions.
Giving Tree
The Giving Tree is up and running. Choosing gifts is completely virtual again this year. Please see the sign up link below.
