My Project

Students love to learn through play. They not only engage with materials but also with each other. In counseling groups they build knowledge, skills and relationships. They learn about themselves and about others. Self acceptance, personal growth, and compassion are some of the results of their work together.

It is a gift to be able to learn and grow in a fun, structured and safe environment.

Groups develop over time to become sources of problem solving, validation, and friendships. I love hearing students talk about and demonstrate the skills they've learned.
