This book introduces a group counseling curriculum that provides
both a foundation to confidently lead a counseling group for
adolescents and inspiration for how a group leader can adapt and
modify the text in a range of settings. The curriculum is
three-fold, corresponding with the three major sections of the
text. In part one of the text, the authors provide a conceptual and
practical way of understanding two matters: first, the critical
leadership challenges faced by group counselors as well as the
skills they need to navigate those challenges successfully, and
secondly, the critical developmental challenges faced by
adolescents and the skills they need to navigate those challenges
successfully. Part Two introduces a nine-week social skills
curriculum - Belong & Be You - designed and modified over ten
years of use to help adolescents be better socially connected as
well as confidently independent. Part Three provides additional
resources which are meant to be used in tandem with the curriculum,
including 40 strategic stories on four different themes contributed
by faculty and students. This book will benefit school counselors
and group counselors working with adolescents to successfully
navigate group leadership and help students embrace themselves and
find belonging.

How do children emotionally heal and regain equilibrium after
suffering trauma? How do adults understand and help them in a
therapeutic relationship? These questions are at the heart of
Violet Oaklander's approach to play therapy and her methods for
training adults to work with children and adolescents. In this
text, Peter Mortola uses qualitative and narrative methods of
analysis to document and detail Oaklander's work in a two-week
summer training attended by child therapists from around the world.
Over the past decade, our understanding of the fundamental
differences in child development, behavior, and emotional maturity
between boys and girls has increased dramatically, and as a result,
many gender-specific interventions and support programs have been
developed to meet the needs of parents, teachers, and mental health
professionals. However, these all take the form of responses
designed to minimize an already disruptive behavior pattern. What
has been needed is a pro-active program whose goal is to instill
positive skills and patterns in 'at-risk' boys, rather than waiting
to address problems after they are already visible. The BAM! Boys
Advocacy and Mentoring program fills this need by providing the
first guidebook for group facilitators who want to lead
preventative boys groups designed to foster communication skills
and emotional connections. Based on years of research and refined
over the course of countless sessions run by the authors, the
program has been field-tested and tailored for use either in the
school setting or outside. Over a series of group sessions,
participants are encouraged to understand their emotions and
interpersonal interactions without losing a sense of 'maleness' as
a result of emotional growth and communication with peers about
personal issues. The activities are designed to be engaging across
age groups, and the individual exercises and program structure can
be modified to fit into any existing school- or community-based
mentoring system. The guidebook contains all of the information and
tools a facilitator needs in order to implement and maintain these
boys groups.
