Lessons are taught in the classroom focusing on feelings, friendship issues, responsibilities and goals, problem solving skills, communication skills and a unit on careers. Students are seen in groups and individually by the counselor as the need arises. Parents, teachers or the students may request time with the counselor. Groups are conducted, usually by grade level, focusing on issues such as divorce support, friendship, social skills, etc. Parent permission is required and groups typically last for 6 weeks, meeting once a week.
Scheduling is done with the grade level teachers to minimize time away from the academic setting.
I am available every morning at Brookwood. Please contact me at 993-2568 if you have any questions or concerns. We will discuss what makes a good friend, appropriate ways of relating to others, and what situations can cause problems in relationships. The groups will meet once a week for 25 minutes and run for 6 weeks.
