Counselor's Connection

February is here! While every store is filled with candy hearts and reminders of love, this is a great time of year to focus on building healthy relationships.
 
This month our topic is: Making and Keeping Friends.

The skills involved in building friendships are skills for life. This month, I will teach how to identify a potential friend, how to identify the values that matter in friendships, and how to recognize healthy versus unhealthy behaviors in a friendship. Additionally, I will teach what skills we need to keep good friendships going, and how to be kind and respectful even when we don’t want to be friends.
 
I can’t wait to build some new skills with our students!
