Spring 2022 SOWK 487 Week 12 - Group Work Approaches Related to Setting I

A presentation at Heritage University @ CBC Week 12 in in Pasco, WA 99301, USA by Jacob Campbell

Week 12 moves into a two-part series of looking at groups that we complete focused on different populations. The first week has readings from Ruffolo and Maker (2017) dive into group work focused on mental health. As we know, many of the groups that social workers end up facilitating include involuntary participants. Rooney and Chovanec (2017) offer many suggestions on how to succeed with this population. Finally, Malekoff (2017) talks about strength-based practices with youth, and Rittner (2017) looks specifically at child welfare. We will be talking about bits and pieces of doing group work with each of these populations during class. We will also be doing a participatory activity out of Aggression Replacement Training.
