College Transition Program for Student-Athletes (CTPSA): A Psychoeducational Group for Boys of Color

This article suggests a group intervention for student-athlete boys of color who intend to play sports in college. This group is a component of a larger proposed school-wide program, the College Transition Program for Student-Athletes (CTPSA). The CTPSA's suggested group intervention offers school counselors a college readiness option to support the college application process, college adjustment, and transition for boys of color who are student-athletes. We discuss the group's purpose, design, format, curriculum, and expected outcomes and present implications for school counselors and other counseling professionals.
