210. 4 Small Groups to Start at the Beginning of the School Year

In this episode,I am sharing four back-to-school small group ideas to help students transition into the new school year, including groups for new students, friendship skills, self-control, and goal setting. I'll also give you the inside scoop on my IMPACT school counselor membership.

Some highlights from this episode:

• "New Students Friendship Group" to help ease the transition for students new to the school.

• "Friendship Group" for younger students (K-2) to learn essential social skills and conflict resolution.

• A "Self-Control Group" can teach impulse control strategies and help students recognize signs of anger and frustration.

• A "Goal Setting Group" can support students in setting and achieving their academic and personal goals for the new school year.

• IMPACT membership program offers school counselors access to a wealth of resources, trainings, and a collaborative community to help them thrive.
