BENEFITING STUDENTS

Each week students will learn self-esteem skills they can use at home and school to help them establish and maintain healthy self-esteem. In addition, they will improve communication skills and learn how to practice goal setting.

At a minimum, being in this counseling group allows students to identify and share their feelings, develop self-esteem through participation, and practice empathy while hearing others’ experiences.

The self-assessments are a great way to get students to self-reflect on their progress and you can then share this information with teachers, parents, or in your program report.
