Facilitating Group Therapy is part of our new “Nothing But Skills” workshop series so wear comfortable clothes and bring your group therapy struggles and skills! We’ll circle up with a group structure and utilize actual skills such as linking, blocking, challenging, developing group guidelines, and much much more… to help you enhance your skills and make even the most difficult group one that you’ll be confident to manage.
Group therapy is one of the most cost effective and clinically effective forms of psycho-therapy. Understanding its benefits, its stages as well as its risks is important to group therapy facilitators. This workshop will examine, develop, and practice skills such as screening of participants, selecting curriculum, learning to navigate the stages of change, choosing an appropriate group size, and managing group behaviors. We’ll begin the day with icebreakers and team building to support your group to form and norm as well as support them to quickly move through storming and into the working stage.
We’ll explore basic principles of group therapy such as instillation of hope, universal experience, imparting of information, altruism, corrective recapitulation of the primary family, socialization, group cohesiveness, and catharsis.
OBJECTIVES:
Lunch served. We look forward to seeing you there!
