Review Quotes

30 Minute Groups: Peaceful Conflict Resolution is a resource that encourages students to reflect and collaborate to understand themselves and one another. From topics like the power of words and nonverbal communication, each lesson lays the foundation for building conflict resolution skills. Role playing and self awareness practixe really bring these skills to the forefront. Looking forward to using this with my students this school year!

I love these books! What I love about this is that is has them broken down by group sessions, but you can also use some of these activities for individual sessions.

This is a great resource for busy school counselors. Conflict resolution is a great skill to learn so students can work on building healthy relationships and increasing the feeling of belonging. I love that it is laid out so well and has minimal prep. The workbook is so helpful because it doesn't require any extra materials. Sometimes I get bogged down with all the extras and it wastes time that I don't have. It aligns with ASCA, pre and post tests, letters home, etc all the information you need! Definitely, recommend to school counselors who need to build their small group library!
