Improving Your Group Therapy Skills
This three hour seminar will focus on helping professionals doing groups to improve their skills. The mission will be on learning, expansion, and growth of mental health professionals doing groups. Skills will be emphasized and integrated into useful interventions. We will focus on groups with children, adolescents, and adults. Research, culture, and gender issues will be discussed as these pertain to group therapy. The audience will be limited to 25 participants.
The objectives are:
1. Participants will learn a variety of interventions for various populations.
2. Participants will learn a variety of theoretical models useful as group interventions.
3. Participants will learn self-awareness, new skills, and professional growth as a result of their attendance.
The methods of teaching will be interactive, didactic, power point, video and experiential. A hand out will be provided. What the research states about doing effective groups will be highlighted.
