Small Group Counseling Services

Throughout the school year, we will be coordinating various small group counseling experiences. These small counseling groups center around a number of different topics. Topics include (but are not limited to) the following: divorce or separation, sibling rivalry, anger management , behavior choices, social skills, and friendship issues. Children are given the opportunity to talk to each other about their own personal situation and are taught strategies for handling certain common feelings. This time together helps children process emotions while decreasing feelings of isolation.

Please contact one of us or your child’s teacher if one of the groups sounds like it would be beneficial to your child. If parents have more specific questions about projects of activities that would take place during the group, we can be reached at school. Keep in mind that teachers may refer students for groups, too. Your child’s teacher or one of us will contact you if this is the case. Groups usually meet once a week for a half an hour. Teachers are able to select times that work with your child’s schedule. We want to work with and for you to make sure your child receives the best possible services throughout his or her school years in Chesterfield.
