One big component in helping people through these issues of cyberbullying is also protecting them, which means taking precautions in order to prevent any further harm.

Section A.9.b of American Counseling Association Code of Ethics states " In a group setting, counselors take reasonable precautions to protect clients from physical emotional, or psychological trauma".

According to Section 33.003 in title 2 of chapter 33 in the Texas Education Code, it states that "The board of trustees of each school district shall adopt guidelines to ensure that written consent is obtained from the parent, legal gaurdian, or person entitled to enroll the student under section 25.001(j) for the student to participate in those activities for which the district requires parental consent.

The factors presented in Yalom's Group Treatment can fit just about any group or body of people.

During the sessions we wish to present we are expecting to see a few different factors come up in the group.

Some of these factors include: Interpersonal Learning, Altruism, Universality and Installation of Hope. All of these factors can be present and drastically help in the way those in this group see themselves and the struggles that they face.

Above is a PDF of Yalom's Factors.

I believe the best leadership style in this situation would be "Participative" or "democratic" leadership. This leadership is not only very well balanced between speaker and participant, but it also works well with the age range presented in this group (ages 12-15).

This style allows for comments from both ends to be addressed and heard. However it is not lax enough to the point where members are deviating off topic.

Stage 1: During this stage "Storming/Norming" we expect there to be some conflict to arise due to the fact we are new and have not yet established trust. We hope to establish trust be giving participants time to ask questions and tell us and other participants how they relate to the material being taught. Lessons on empathy and how they view it and see it in everyday life could be used as one way to bond.
If a participant needs to address something confidentially then we will guide them to the school counselor to deal with that need. If a participate comes to us and discloses confidential material, we will immediately notify the school/necessary authorities.

Stage 2: During this time we will open up the discussion to members to have with and amongst us about cyberbullying. We aim to have a sense of cohesion and ability to relate to one another as they learn. As they learn we will have them provide feedback to one another about how they can help each other.

Stage 3: During the closure of this group we will have students comment verbally and in writing, what the most most impactful thing they learned was. Also we will ask them what is something they can now relate to other about though the experience of cyberbullying.

Another aspect of this group that is necessary for it to work is ground rules. These must be implemented to help us educate more efficiently and allow participants an easier time to take in the information provided, without disturbances.

Participants must be mindful of others and how they may be experiencing struggles different from their own. We ask that outside conversation be held until after the lesson and that any questions needed to be asked, are to be asked after the material and lesson is over with, unless otherwise specified.

As a group there will be zero tolerance for any rudeness or aggression towards another student or students. If the school has any rules that need to be followed by us/ the students, they will be integrated into our own during the lessons.

Informed Consent is a must and is a must in order for us to be able to educate students on cyberbullying. Parental Consent forms will be given out to any and all students who wish to join our group. Consent must be given by a parent or guardian of the child we are educating. Detailed information about informed consent could not be found on the school website, but consent forms will be provided.

Consent Forms will be provided above.

During this process of educating about cyberbullying, we hope to gain a better understanding about those we are trying to help.

Our demographic are those that are most susceptible to cyberbullying and lacking skills to deal with it. We hope to understand our audience more by assessing their willingness to participate through questionnaires on social media about their experiences with cyberbullying.

When we educate this group on cyberbullying, we will have both visual and auditory aids. We educate in a group setting, if a student is not comfortable with this setting they may seek the help and resources of the school counselor.

One of our goals is to reach as many people as we can during our time educating. We hope to spread awareness to not only students, but to parents, teachers and counselors.

Flyers will be available in the school, and will be posted around the gym, cafeteria and main office. QR codes will also be on flyers for more info about where and when we be educating.

There are a few behavior and mindset shifts we hope to make when educating in this group. The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) outlines different stratagies that can be pursued when addressing different groups.

In this group we hope to address a wide range of strategies to help with cyberbullying. In particular for this group, we hope students will be able to master skills such as empathy, effective coping skills, personal safety skills and Cultural awareness, sensitivity and responsiveness.
