Group counseling focuses on various interesting activities, emphasizing students' active participation and experience in the activities. Its playfulness makes teenagers more willing to participate, reduces the resistance to the "education" of schools and parents, and also reduces the pressure when they encounter real problems in actual study and life, so that they can more naturally show their specialties, give play to their abilities and experience the experiences and sentiments that may be brought during the activities. Teenagers have many problems, but they are all similar.
Adolescence is a critical period for the development of mental health. In the process of study, life, interpersonal communication and self-cognition, we will encounter all kinds of psychological puzzles or problems. Generally speaking, the psychological development of teenagers at the same age level is basically at the same level, and the problems and puzzles encountered basically show a universality and regularity. Group counseling is most suitable for solving similar problems of the same group of people. Safe environment, unprecedented experience
Groups provide teenagers with a microcosm of real society, enabling them to connect the insights gained from groups with their daily life experiences, and try to learn or change their behaviors in an atmosphere of security and trust. Therefore, group counseling is a "safe base" for teenagers' mental health development and an unforgettable "spiritual feast" for teenagers' growth. A lot of practical experience also shows that when teenagers receive group counseling in class, their emotional experience and spiritual shock are unimaginable in individual counseling, theme class meetings, classroom teaching, lectures on mental health theory and other occasions. All-round combination, group-assisted comprehensive application
