We have found that students who have experienced stressful situations often suffer from a unique kind of stress, called traumatic stress, which can impact academic, social and emotional functioning, thereby negatively affecting school performance. Your student, Alison has been selected to participate. We will be conducting groups one time per week for one school period over the course of the next ten weeks. Students will be summoned for each session for the next 10-Wednesdays at 1:00 p.m. for approximately 45 minutes. If at all possible, please excuse her for these sessions as they are cumulative.
