| About the Author | |
 |
Darin Ulmer spent ten years counseling youth and families in Montgomery County, Texas before turning to a life of corporate training. Many of the critical skills required to put together an effective group counseling program turned out to be the same skills that led to effective training classes. This book brings together the lessons from both worlds and will help the subject matter expert create effective lessons as much as it will help the person that replaced Darin and must now facilitate the 12-week program for 6th grade boys that make up the Activities section of this book.
