Facilitating Therapeutic Groups Every group has a distinct character and power and is always more than the sum of its individual parts. Facilitating groups can be like journeying without a map – often difficult, intense, challenging and stimulating. Group facilitators can become the receptacle for the group’s negativity and projections. The course aims to illicit each member’s unique ability, and develops their confidence in facilitating therapeutic groups – by exploring with them their ability to use themselves to harness the strength of the group to empower individual members. The course will cover the characteristics of group work: tasks, facilitator styles, models, interventions, dynamics and processes, boundaries and inherent difficulties.

This weekend workshop is a group experience facilitated in safe and confidential surroundings. The group will concentrate on building trust and set a contract which the group itself will design. This is a group experience facilitated in safe and confidential surroundings. The experience begins on a Friday evening with a meal followed by the 1st session of group work which will concentrate on building trust within the group and setting the working contract for the weekend; which the group itself will design and agree. We aim for the weekend to be an intense shared journey of self-discovery and liberation for the participants. We also aim to facilitate the group to act as a cohesive, supportive unit in which each member is given the time and space she/he needs to safely explore their most painful experiences. The facilitators believe that breaking the secrecy which often surrounds childhood abuse is vital to the healing process of the individual who has experienced the abuse; therefore the group will act as witness to each individual’s experience. However, it can be extremely difficult to put into words and explain events and the ‘body’ is often despised. Therefore, the exercises used during the weekend will help participants to both find their voice, access and free ‘body memory’. Participants will be supportively encouraged to engage in all aspects and exercises during the weekend but no one will be forced to participate in anything they would rather not do. Who is the workshop for?
The workshop will count toward CPD requirements for professionals but this is achieved through self-development work; the full participation in the group experience. Entry Requirements
