Anxiety Group
Middle school can be an extremely difficult time for any student. For students with anxiety, even the most simple tasks can be challenging and painful. In our anxiety groups, students learn, discuss and practice skills and techniques to help them cope with anxiety and the middle school world. Students are able to work with others to find helpful solutions to many issues facing middle school students today. Typically groups meet once a week over a eight week period. Groups usually consist of four to six students. If you would like more information, do not hesitate to contact your Counselor.
