The
High School Group is a
transitional group. Group
members are also taught the
basic skills listed in the
curriculum, but the group is
less structured, allowing
for the development of a
group dynamic. Group members
learn as they interact with
one another within this
dynamic. Members are also
encouraged to share and help
each other cope and/or solve
personal social problems.
Young teens in this group
enjoy the continued use of
drama
as a
powerful tool for learning
skills. |
