Event Description: Group counseling is a frequently used counseling format. Counselors need to be familiar with this format as well as the use of EBPs (e.g., motivational interviewing, MI) in a group setting in order to develop group community. This workshop will provide an opportunity for dialogue about the application of EBPs (e.g., MI) into practice. Throughout the workshop, experiential components will be used (e.g., case study; exercise; Q & A period) to assist the participant in applying the information to the group counseling context in which they work.
Objectives
Determine ways participants can create an atmosphere that is welcoming to and invites hope in clients.
Apply the EBPs (e.g., MI) to one’s own setting through experiential activities (e.g., case study; exercise; Q & A).
Describe the self-care techniques for both leader and group members.
