During the group sessions we will encounter different factors. From Yalom's Curative Factors, I believe that 2 factors will be seen.
1. Altruism - During the group session we will encounter students with low self-esteem. There are many factors why someone has no confidence. While we interact in the group sessions, I believe there will be students now wanting to participate. Usually when there are those type of students there are always other classmates that speak up for them and help them.
2. Development of socializing techniques - The goal for this session is to build self-esteem. During the sessions we will see how girls interact with the group and they we will be developing social skills throughout the whole group session.

When working with Love your #Selfie group the Leadership used will be Participative. This group will be with girls age 8-10, so guidance will be necessary.  Also, is important for me to guide the students and start a conversation since most of them are working in their confidence, it will be critical for me to start the conversation to motivate the students to talk and engage in conversation. This will be the effective leadership for this group.

The group Love your #Selfie will consist of 6-8 sessions. During those sessions we will be collaborating, sharing and  building relationship. These will be done in 3 stages:

Stage 1 - Getting acquainted/setting norms/building trust:  At the beginning of the first session I will tell clients that I am there to support, and will explain that I will be nonjudgmental when they share to build trust.
Stage 2 - Working together to accomplish individual and group goals:  During the sessions we will work together as a group to establish short term goals and long term goals. In order to accomplish the goals, we will be writing down the goal, and we will set a deadline to achieve it.                             Stage 3 - Ending the Group: The group has to come to an end after the 6-8 weeks. During the last sessions is important for students to realize that after this session they are by themselves. Also, we will discuss how students feel about finishing the counseling group session and what did they learned and reflect about what they have learned.
