The Malvern Elementary Counseling department believes in the personal potential of every student.  We are pleased to offer several small-group counseling opportunities throughout the year to assist students to reach their full personal and academic potential.  The groups are usually six sessions long and they meet weekly.  The groups are typically closed-ended groups, meaning that students are not added to the group once the group has begun unless there are extreme extenuating circumstances and group dynamics allow for new members.  All groups are confidential.  Students are considered for group participation based on teacher/administrator recommendations and parent request.   If you are interested in small group counseling for your child/student, please complete this form or contact our school counselor: Mrs. Davenport. 

There are several possible small group topics including the following: (dates for groups are pending)

___Peer Relations and Social Skills

___Self Esteem

___Anger Management

___Changing Families/Divorce

___Managing Stress & Anxiety

If you feel your student or child might benefit from any of the groups listed above, please submit this form  by October 17, 2018 and a permission form will be sent home. Only those students with signed permission forms may participate.
