Imagine how terrible it would be to plan a party and no one showed up. As a social worker you may very well plan a group and no one attends. Why might this happen? In part it might be due to a lack of proper planning. Prior to establishing a group there is a great deal of planning that needs to occur. First and foremost you need to assess the need for the group.
As you can see there are many details a social worker needs to address prior to starting a group. Once these details are finalized how will you run the group and what intervention skills might you use to meet the need you identified?
For this Assignment review this weeks Resources. Then select a population with which you might like to build a group. Consider the needs of the population and the type of group you might build to benefit the population. Think about how you might structure this group and what role you the social worker might need to assume in order to support the group members. Finally reflect on what intervention skills this group might require and the potential group dynamics of which you should be aware while running the group.
