As part of the counseling program at Jacobson Elementary, I offer small groups for students to address their special needs. This new group will be focused on “Changing Families.” We will be addressing/discussing changes in students’ families and how these changes are affecting the students in school and at home. This group is open to all students who have dealt with any type of change in their family unit. This group’s focus will be on discussion with group members and developing positive relationships with all those involved. A special benefit of meeting in a small group is to allow students the opportunity to realize they are not alone in this situation and acknowledge that others are facing similar challenges. Participation in any group can help with the growth of peer and family relationships.
The Changing Families group will meet once a week (lower grades one day, upper grades another day) before school. Group meetings will take place on opposite days of the walking program, so students will be able to take part in both activities. Changing Families group will meet in the counseling room from 7:50-8:10.
I will post a sign next to the walking program sign so students know what days they will be meeting with me. I would love for as many students to join this group as possible! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. If you would like your child to participate, please contact me by phone or email! I would love to have your student join.
Have a great day!
