Did you catch last week’s episode? We talked all about the benefits of running high school counseling small groups. This week we’re continuing on the small group trend and exploring ways to get student buy-in for these groups.

Deciding to move forward with small groups, and getting approval from your admin, is the first step.But then comes another challenge. How do you actually get high school students to want to be a part of these small groups? And once you get them to buy-in, how do you actually keep them engaged and excited to come back week after week? 

I’ve asked myself these same questions and experienced push-back from students before, so I know what you’re working with! Over time I found what works, and am happy to bring those ideas straight to you. I’m sharing four ways that you can get (and keep) student buy-in for your high school counseling small groups.
