GROUP COUNSELING & STUDENT SURVEYSimon Technology Academy High School

WHAT IS GROUP COUNSELING? At Simon Tech, group counseling

involves a small group of students who meet weekly or bi-weekly to work on their personal challenges.

Usually, the groups will have a theme or a topic that is something all the group members are struggling with.

The groups will meet for 8-12 weeks depending on the topic.

WHY DO GROUP COUNSELING? Many people find it helpful to work

with others when trying to solve a problem or make a situation better, especially if the people they are working with have the same problem.

It’s confidential! What you discuss in the group stays in the group. Group members commit to each other and are there to help others and themselves.

GROUP COUNSELING TOPICS

Stress Management—feeling overwhelmed by everything you need to do and/or the people in your life? Having trouble managing all your tasks and staying calm at the same time?

Anger Management—does your anger seem like something you can’t control? Does your anger interfere with your goals and/or your relationships with others?

Grief—are feeling sad because someone close to you passed away? Is your sadness making it difficult to complete your daily tasks and enjoy life?

GROUP COUNSELING TOPICS

Family Changes/Challenges—are your parents getting divorced? Are there things going on in your family that are difficult for you to understand or handle?

Academic Success—do you want to do well in school but just don’t know how? Do you want to see A’s and B’s on your weekly grade reports instead of C’s and F’s?

Self-Esteem—do you lack confidence in yourself? Do you feel like you aren’t good at anything? Do you struggle to accept yourself for who you are?

GROUP COUNSELING TOPICS

Healthy Relationships—do you like the relationships you have with others? Your parents, friends, girlfriend/boyfriend? Do you ever find yourself doing something that doesn’t feel comfortable or letting someone do something to you that you don’t like? Do you know what it means to have a “healthy” relationship?

Drug Abuse- do you find yourself being consumed by a drug/drugs, which ultimately is impacting your life in a negative way? Would you like to change the direction in which your life is headed?

Other—is there anything else that you need help with or want to talk about? Please tell us what that is.
