You know groups are important, but maybe you aren't sure if your groups are effective.

 

Sometimes you find yourself scrambling to figure out what to do two minutes before the kiddos walk in.

 

And maybe you hate to admit that sometimes you dread groups because it's so hard to know where to start or what to do or what data you're supposed to be using.

But, despite all the challenges that come with groups (including the fact that most of us didn't really learn how to do them in grad school...), you believe in their power and potential.

 

You know they are an evidence-based intervention and you are committed to rocking your next round of them.

So what if you could have...

Hey, counselor colleagues!

Ten years ago, I knew that group counseling was important - and so I ran lots of groups! The problem was...they didn't always work. The students didn't always actually grow. It was incredibly disheartening!
 
So I dove into research and books and revamped everything from data to routines to activities. Each group became intentionally planned to meet the needs of the students. And then? My groups became significantly more successful!
 
I am excited and honored about the chance to serve other school counselors with a strategy-packed and easy-to-follow workshop, that helps you run counseling groups that result in real change. Come on in!
