ABSTRACT
Our goal in Session 5 is to leverage the cohesion – the support – that has been building over the previous weeks in the group to now address the risky and challenging content regarding bullying in a meaningful way. In the “Opening,” the leaders introduce a warm-up exercise called the “rainstorm.” In the “Body,” the leaders tell the second “strategic story” based on a theme of “bullying.” The leaders also have the students anonymously list the ways in which they see bullying happening in their lives. In the “Closing,” the leaders again ask the students to reflect on their experience in the group both verbally (by stating what they liked or learned) and in writing (by filling out the weekly survey).
