Group Counseling Elementary
  • Being involved in counseling does not appear to
    bear the stigma for students that might be
    present in other settings.
  • Time schedules in elementary schools are more
    flexible than in secondary schools.

4
Group Counseling Middle School
  • Scheduling can be challenging, so alternative
    methods are sought
  • Altering the block or period each week
  • Lunch
  • Homework period
  • Before or after school

5
Group Counseling High School
  • Developmental needs shift as the topics of career
    and college move to the forefront.
  • Issues around dating, relationships, graduation,
    changing family relationships, and sexuality are
    also important focuses for group counseling.
  • Time constraints and academic demands may put
    constraints on the scheduling of groups.

6
Benefits of Groups in Schools
  • A resource to support students, parents, and
    teachers
  • Safe environment for sharing
  • Serves greater numbers
  • Increased likelihood of behavior change due to
    peer influence

7
General Challenges of Groups in Schools
  • Missed class time
  • Teacher resistance
  • Scheduling
  • Students might feel ostracized when participating
    in group sessions
  • Large numbers of referrals

8
Ethical Considerations
  • Screening
  • Consent
  • Confidentiality
  • Record keeping

9
What Works, According to Research?
  • A short-term, action-oriented approach lends
    itself naturally to the time constraints of the
    school setting.
  • This may be the most appropriate approach for
    group work in schools.

10
Cultural Considerations
  • Research supports a mixed composition of students
    in group counseling in order to promote increased
    understanding of cultural differences.
  • Research also advocates for homogeneous groups of
    students from similar cultural backgrounds so
    that sources of support within the school setting
    are more easily accessible.
