I was inspired by a
wonderful friend this weekend to begin blogging. So… here it goes!
This blog is dedicated to
my work and my passion. I hope to
document my curriculum for group therapy, interventions, parenting techniques,
behavior modification plans, and soapbox rants so that they can easily be
referenced and shared. Also, I
hope to create a support network with other professionals that work with kids.
So to jump right in…
My group theme this week
is Bullying. I work with kids that
are bullied and those that do bully.
Often one leads to the other and visa versa. My goal this week is to build empathy, improve healthy
expression of needs, and provide a safety plan for each client if they
experience or witness bullying.
(I should warn you that I
have a very slight obsession with Pinterest)
Monday
Define bullying legally,
our school’s views on bullying, and our group definition of bullying. Create a bully free sign for our group
room that is a visual reminder of our definition of bullying.

a victim?

Wednesday
Bully Trailer. Please like their facebook page at… www.facebook.com/bullymovie, and
then preview this movie to make sure it is age-appropriate for your child. Some of the scenes are very graffic,
but these things happen everyday all over America. This needs to be a family event and then a conversation of
values and expectations.
