The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of group counseling as an
intervention for high school seniors who are experiencing stress related to their post-secondary
decisions. Research indicates that students’ final year of high school is especially stressful when
uncertainty about post-secondary plans exists. A counseling group was developed to provide
support to students with the aforementioned stress and indecision. Four participants took part in
a five-week, discussion-based, counseling group. Participants were administered the Perceived
Stress Scale at the commencement and culmination of the group. Following the intervention,
participants exhibited a 29.49% decrease in perceived stress, although the results were not
statistically significant. Limitations and implications for future research are discussed.
