 |
This book provides a comprehensive,
empirically supported group
counseling program for youngsters at risk for academic, behavioral,
and emotional difficulties. Designed for implementation in the span
of a school semester, the curriculum has been shown to foster
competence in areas crucial to successful development, including
problem solving, violence prevention, and interpersonal skill
building. The book first presents an overview of program goals and
methods and describes how to set up groups, select members, and
promote a trusting, supportive environment. Step-by-step guidelines
for conducting each session are then delineated. The book describes a
wealth of engaging activities and discussions that facilitate
exploration of such vital issues as educational goals, ethnic
identity, prejudice and discrimination, peer pressure, and family
relationships.Appendices contain reproducible materials in both
English and Spanish, including consent forms, pregroup and postgroup
assessments, and student game cards, worksheets, and handouts. This
innovative curriculum is ideal for use with youngsters dealing with
family distress, academic problems, exposure to violence, and
socioeconomic disadvantage. The book is designed for maximum ease of
use with a large format and lay-flat binding.
