Feeling at Home Facilitating Groups
Public Programs and Performances WKS 094 1.00
Providing psycho-education and support in group settings is an important and often powerful tool for personal and professional learning, yet not all clinicians feel competent to facilitate group process. Working with focused small groups is an excellent way to get comfortable with the practice. In this workshop, participants will be able to enhance their abilities in their role as a facilitator in small, psycho-educational groups. Theories, approaches, and understandings of group structure and process will be introduced via readings, discussions, media, and simulated group formation. The multiplicity of culture and diversity will be considered as well as the competency standards for legal and ethical group leadership. Together we will explore, practice, and reflect upon leader development and skill-building exercises within the learning community of the classroom.
