SMALL COUNSELING GROUPS

SMALL COUNSELING GROUPS

Small Groups are underway at Warren and CCA. Visiting with students in a small group setting allows Counselors to address common issues that many students are facing, and provides a safe space where the students can gain personal insight and coping skills, with the realization that they are not alone in their journey.

Some of the current small group topics taking place this month include:

Families in Transition

Empowering Young Women

Welcome to Warren Adjustment

Building Academic Success

Next Steps- Preparing for life after high school

Getting a Jump Start on College

Getting Past It- working on overcoming obstacles in life.

If you feel your student could benefit from small group counseling, please contact your child's counselor!
