Promoting growth within a group. Performing in the here and now

Description

This live demonstration of a simulated counseling group in the performing stage of a group will focus on how growth can be fostered within the group both by the group counselor and group members. The emphasis will be twofold. The first will be on group leader skills that promote interaction, connectivity, and cohesiveness such as active listening, linking, reflecting, confronting, supporting, and summarizing. The second will be on the power of group members to be helpful and of assistance to other members and how the environment created within the group can be beneficially therapeutic for members struggling with such issues of loss, indecision, anxiety, and regret.
