Large caseloads, lack of time, an overwhelming number of students who struggle to form positive relationships...

Sound familiar? You’re in good company!

Many of the kids who need intervention the most are challenging to work with and seemingly resistant to intervention. And then there’s TIME... there’s never enough of that.

That’s why Dr. Jennifer Rogers, LPC, school counselor, researcher, consultant, and author, created this one-of-a-kind training that will leave you with the tools you need to immediately expand your impact on students without stretching your schedule any further. You’ll finish with:

  • Step-by-step guidance to address peer-rejection, externalizing behaviors, trouble working with others, and more in 3rd – 6th graders
  • Concrete strategies for effective and efficient caseload management
  • TONS of ready-to-go experiential skill-building activities, such as “Who’s on your team?” and the “Nuclear Waste Activity”
  • Group engagement strategies that work with the most reluctant students
  • A complete, flexible curriculum and video demonstrations for each activity!
