Support groups for Co-Occurring Disorders

Group therapy is both the most exciting and most challenging approach to treatment with Integrated Behavioral Health population. Adult learners in various stages of change and cognitive availability requires facilitators to be flexible, have a sense of humor, and stay focused on the purpose and wisdom of the group process. We will incorporate discussion, lecture, video, and interactions, so we will be requesting cameras on!

Learning objectives:

  • Identify three assumptions of group development
  • Classify five stages of group development: forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning.
  • Explain the difference between process and psychoeducation groups
  • Specify five challenges in group facilitation: handling being under-the-influence, manually based modules (seeking safety), differences in populations, managing counter-transference with co-occurring population.
