Description
Helping girls learn how to navigate friendships can be rewarding, but also time-consuming and emotionally exhausting for the clinician. The school environment is the most common arena for relational aggression to develop. Something as simple as choosing partners for a project, finding a seat on the bus or lunchroom, or playing at recess can erupt in drama. Pile on parent involvement and social media and situations can exponentially escalate.
Signs of relational aggression can manifest in several ways: increased conflict, social isolation, poor grades, decreased concentration, physical complaints of nausea, headaches, changes in weight, digestive problems, and sleep disturbance. Symptoms can develop into depression, anxiety, self-harm, and eating disorders.
Watch this recording and you’ll learn:
- Interventions to make individual sessions or groups more effective for each age and stage
- Skill-building activities that are visual, interactive, and memorable beyond talking and processing feelings
- Tools to teach girls how to regulate emotions, manage conflict, practice assertive communication, and improve stress management
- Strategies to reduce the negative impact of comments adult make and the way they respond (or don’t)
You’ll receive reproducible handouts, scripts and prompts, step-by-step intervention instructions, and examples of parent coaching sessions and will be equipped to teach girls the skills to manage conflict and form healthy bonds, thereby improving their mental health!
