Sometimes even with all of our preventative work, we have a group of girls that struggle with relational aggression (girl drama, friendship problems, mean girls, etc.). This small group counseling curriculum is awesome for helping develop healthy friendship skills among middle to upper elementary girls. The activities cover all of the negative behaviors girls sometimes engage in while remaining positive and focusing on more helpful skills to use. Sessions are full of real world examples/scenarios to discuss and work through.
This ASCA-aligned resource is a complete 8-week group counseling curriculum. Six of the sessions also include activities that work outside of an ongoing group; perfect for lunch bunches or individual sessions!
Group Outline:
•Session 1: How are friendships like gardens? (opening and welcome)
•Session 2: Every Plant and Person is Different (accepting yourself and others)
•Session 3:What do friendships need? (encouragement and support, fun and togetherness, trust, respect)
•Session 4: Friendship Fence Lines (physical, verbal, and emotional boundaries)
•Session 5: Problem Solving (conflict resolution)
•Session 6: Drama GOAT (getting others involved, overreacting, gossip)
•Session 7:Friendship Problems and Friendship Happiness (review and apply)
•Session 8: How have I grown and bloomed? (reflection)
