Abstract: The American School Counselor Association calls for counselors to utilize multitiered systems of support to minimize gaps. Specifically, Tier 2 interventions provide a method to address equity issues and foster growth. Black male students experience the greatest disparities in schools; therefore, school counselors should consider culturally affirming, strengths-based groups to meet these students' needs. This practitioner research outlines an intervention resulting in participants' decreased discipline referrals and enhanced social/emotional skills.
