Group Intervention Report

After completing the group task of preparing a presentation on, transferring individual facilitation skills into a group work setting I will critically reflect upon my own participation. I will evaluate my self-awareness while working in the group, as well as those around me. The way that I personally dealt with any issues that arose within the group and how that affected the group dynamics. I will also briefly discuss the roles in which each member of the group took and how role allocation affected, the group dynamics and the working relationships. Finally I will evaluate my work having discussed it with my fellow group members.

                                        Conduct a group discussion in which you review the similarities and differences in case management practices between special needs populations.

Evaluate any feedback received. Discuss the findings with the Chair/people involved in organising the meeting. Agree whether changes are required/appropriate.

It will focus on a members cognitive, affective, and behavioral skills through a structured setting within and across meetings (Corey, et al., 2010, p.11). Sessions will be designed in a structured format and around different themes (Corey, et. al., 2010, p.11). Members will be allowed time to discuss and process various topics and interventions that will be covered. The group will be a closed group. The group will be announced through a brochure that will cover (1) disclosure statement, (2) statement of goals and purpose, (3) expectation for group participation, (4) policies for entering and exiting the the group, (5) rights and responsibilities of group members and the group leader, (6) disclosure to of information to others and documenting procedures, (7) group leader and members procedures for consultation, (8) education, (9) procedures and techniques to be used, (10) time parameters, (11) qualifications of group leader (Corey, et.al., 2010). The brochure will inform referring agencies and help avoid miscommunication of the group 's purpose. The brochure will be distributed to teachers, school counseling, school administrative staff, potential participants and parents.

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) impacts millions of families worldwide (Watts & Zimmerman, 2002). In fact, in the United States alone on average nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men (National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, 2010). In light of this troubling information, the clinical social worker may find him or herself called upon to serve this most vulnerable population.

The goal of the intervention is to help college students reduce their alcohol consumption to a healthy level. This intervention will be separated based on the gender in which the client identifies with. The primary reason for holding two different interventions based on gender is because gender norms are significantly correlated to high-risk drinking and men and women face different gender norms. The intervention would be a group intervention; clients will be able to have a sense of social support and identification with other clients in the group with similar experiences. I believe having a group intervention will provide clients will a supportive environment, which will help clients, feel understood. Clients are more likely to open up and

As a general rule, these guidelines are an acceptable method to further the process. These subsets allow for the further identification and streamlining of the process. This series of processes allows for the identification of variables that could develop into

Amy Romero is a certified teacher, school counselor, and registered play therapist. She offers support groups for children between the ages of three and eight. This support group help children process their levels of daily stress and anxiety to ensure they are able to alleviate those stressors in a healthy positive manner. She is able to interact with these children via “play” and observe their psychological baseline. Then use that baseline to improve their behavioral, mental, and cognitive development. The session is open to boys and girls in that age group and is located in Lafayette. Succession of this group therapy will result in children having a higher self-concept, self-esteem, ability to display their behaviors/feelings in a healthy

Some examples of issues, problems and or areas of concern that members might share in common in group intervention are: behavioral issues at home or in school, disciplining foster children, child temperament, parents coping with stress, children’s mental health, parents and children reactions to sensory information.

During this session I referred to the stages of change and evaluated the client resources, desires, and willingness to change. Further, I tried to assess using knowledge of person in environment and assessing biological, developmental, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual impacts on the client’s recovery. The client discussed difficulties in relating to others in group therapy sessions, as he does not see himself as having an addiction. The client has stable family environment that provides significant support; however, also limits his desires to make additional changes such as employment.

My role in the project was make sure all our ideas followed within the guidelines of the instructions.  I would occasionally throw an idea out to my peers, but with an introverted group I usually wouldn't get much feedback.  As the project came to expiration I learned that even though sometimes being in a group makes the work load lighter it can also occasionally make the work harder since it's more difficult to mold multiple individuals preconceptions into one

For 36 months after the selection of the participants each participant in the interventional group received at least 9 follow ups. The control group also had similar instructions but it was only 4 times in 12 months intervals. During each 12 month visit MD check to see if there were any disease. Participants were advised/instructed to decrease total energy consumption and to increase the level of physical activity. The goal is to reduce body weight by 5%. Material and human existing resources were used at the study centers. Dieticians and Nurses were primarily involved in the interventions. Information of diabetes and modifications in lifestyle were provided through pamphlets and pedometers. Participants participated in a series of follow-up

1.I told my fellow group members how they were doing and how well they cooperated together.

The 10 I got in this category accurately describes me, because I tend to be actively involved in discussions and trying to get everyone's ideas heard. As a gatekeeper, I encourage and facilitate participation within the group to ensure all team members contribute to the project. I feel the 12 that I got in this category accurately represents me because I am always trying to get everyone involved. As a harmonizer, I manage the group discussions and mediate conflicts while reducing tension. The 12 I got in this category is accurate of me because I manage the group discussion while ensuring conflicts do not erupt. As an initiator, I am efficient in setting group goals and looking for ways to work on these goals. This leadership role describes me somewhat because I do like to take charge when possible. As a summarizer with a 12, I feel that taking notes and summarizing meetings fits me well. I found this to be a surprise because summarizers usually tend to be non-leaders. I generally opt for a more leadership oriented position.

Leadership/Group Work: Give an example of your leadership within the context of a group activity. Focus on your specific contribution to the group, particularly noting how you were able to influence or motivate others especially when conflicts arose.
