I hope that you all are doing well. I’m excited to to move into focusing on group work.
In week six, we are transitioning from working with families to working with groups for the rest of the semester. Reading Hepworth et al. (2022) and Chapter 11: Understanding Social Work Groups provides a strong understanding of the various groups we will discuss for the rest of the semester. This session is designed to help orient us to group work, dynamics, and general processes. The agenda is as follows:
Read/Watch
A-01: Class Engagement and Attendance
Attend Class
A-02: Reading Engagement and Check-in Questions
Complete the reading engagement and check-in questions at W-06 A-02 Reading Questions. It is due before class.
You got a chance to spend time preparing for this in class, but next week you will be doing your presentations. You can find Assignment 03: Family Treatment Modality Research Presentation Description and Rubric to review.
