Counselor Corner

Now that our Counseling Department has expanded, we are hoping to offer peer groups in the next coming months. The potential peer groups we will be forming will focus on a social skill group and a group focusing on appropriate ways to handle anxiety. Groups are a safe place to talk about feelings, to learn and practice new coping/social skills, and to develop positive relationships with other children. Positive interaction and mutual respect are encouraged within the group setting. Participation in a small group builds self-esteem and respect for others. If you are interested in your child being a part of a group or have questions please feel free to reach out to Kate Martell or Sarah Skowronski at 989-731-0856.
