Academic, Socio-Emotional & Psycho-educational Services:
All groups are offered on a 6-week rotating basis, with new groups starting every 2 weeks. Groups meet for half of a block period each week, rotating the periods so that students do not miss an individual class more than once. Groups are intended to provide additional academic, socio-emotional and psycho-educational support for students who are struggling here at Maine West.
If you are a student, parent or teacher and believe you or a student you know could benefit from any of the groups described below, please send the student’s name to their counselor. The counselor will then collect information about the student and speak with the student to determine if the group is an appropriate fit for them.
SFS Skills Group:
The SFS skills group provides participants with an opportunity to examine the events and interactions that can lead to emotional discomfort and the consequences that can come with reacting to emotions without reason,. They will learn to identify both the physical and psychological signs of increasing emotional distress, as well as strategies to minimize these symptoms and the resulting actions that could have challenging outcomes.
