Description

Social work groups require the consideration of the dynamics of group development, intervention strategies, and ethics, which are all the focus of week eight. Students will read Hepworth et al. (2022) and their chapter regarding facilitating social work groups, which provides insight into stages of group development. We spent most of our time last week doing family treatment presentations. We have two more this week, and then we will make further connections to group dynamics and interventions in group work. Students will have an opportunity to meet as teams and work on their group facilitation activities. We will have an example of an empowerment group and some small group discussions on how to understand ethical decisions in group work and planning. The agenda for class is as follows:

Family treatment modality research presentations
Group dynamics in social work facilitation
Time to work on group facilitation activity
Empowerment groups
Ethics in group work
Planning and implementing of social work groups
