This timely text provides essential content on group practices, solution-focused counseling, and proven strategies for implementation of groups in schools. Imagine having a program that allows counselors and other helping professionals to meet many more students' critical needs, save a great deal of planning and implementation time, and develop skills in self acceptance, communication, interpersonal skills, conflict resolution, decision making, and self care! The SOS Model provides group session plans and interactive group activities to meet all of the ASCA National Standards for Personal/Social Development. This practical "how to" book includes all of the ready-to-use tools to set up, run, and evaluate groups--needs assessments, letters to parents and teachers, solution-focused interview guides, 54 session guides and handouts, and evaluations. CD-ROM includes all reproducible forms, guides, and handouts"--Publisher's website.
