Wellness-Based Group Counseling with Elementary Students in Disciplinary Alternative Education Programs
Perepiczka, Michelle
Journal of School Counseling, v7 n10 2009
Students in Disciplinary Alternative Education Programs (DAEPs) have a variety of behavior problems. School counselors in DAEPs have the opportunity to address emotional, academic, social, and behavioral concerns of these students. Counselors may use the strengths-based wellness paradigm as an alternative method of addressing students' holistic needs while striving to follow the American School Counselor Association's (2005) National Model. This article describes how to incorporate a 6 week wellness group counseling intervention into DAEPs with elementary students.
