Group counseling is a helpful and positive approach used in schools to support students’ emotional, social, and academic growth.
By bringing students together in a safe and supportive environment, group counseling encourages open communication, mutual understanding, and personal development.
What is Group Counseling?
Group counseling involves a trained counselor who guides a small group of students to discuss common challenges, share experiences, and learn coping skills.
Unlike individual counseling, this method promotes peer support and helps students realize they are not alone in their struggles.
Role of Counselors
School counselors play a crucial role in facilitating group counseling. They create a positive atmosphere, guide discussions, and help students develop skills to overcome challenges both inside and outside of school.
Encouraging Participation
Students are encouraged to join group counseling sessions voluntarily or may be referred by teachers or parents when additional support is needed. Participation is always confidential and respectful of students’ privacy.
Group counseling is a valuable resource that helps students grow academically and emotionally by promoting a sense of community and shared support.
