San Diego, CA, USA - MI Group Facilitation

Therapeutic groups can be as effective as individual services for many problems.  But succcessfully facilitating groups can be challenging.

Groups are often at risk of becoming dull affairs where there is little participation, yet can also easily overheat and become places where conflict becomes destructive.

Managing “conversational traffic” and facilitating open sharing among people with different experiences, goals, styles and beliefs are critical skills for group leaders.  Effective leaders must be well-prepared to address unexpected situations and maintain therapeutic bonds with individual group members while facilitating a conversation among the whole group.

Incorporating Motivational Interviewing Group skills developed by the trainers and collaborators, this 2 day experiential workshop guides participants in successful group leadership, refocusing groups away from rehashing problems and toward inspiring positive change.
