My coworker and I decided we wanted to start a counseling group for girls to talk about stress. We’ll assess coping styles and work on awareness of healthy and unhealthy reactions to stress. But mostly it’ll be place where girls can talk and feel heard by eachother. We did a bunch of intakes the last two weeks and were overwhelmed with the student interst; enough for three groups! It was such a big deal it made the front page of our school newspaper. If you could read the print you’d see I have some brilliant quotes about stressed out girls that make me sound uber-smart.
Below is a cartoon that was on the second page of the paper illustrating our group (stressed out santa and britney with her babies depicted in the group if you can’t tell)
We’re starting up in January, wish us luck! We have some great things planned.
