This workshop is designed to support participant to understand group dynamics in a support setting, and to manage and coordinate groups.

Group support can be a valuable and effective intervention for people living with complex or difficult circumstances. The ability to share your knowledge and experiences with others while also learning from the knowledge and experience of others can lead to new ways of thinking and approaching situations, as well as supporting a reduction in feelings of isolation. At the same time, groups can be organic and unpredictable, with each instance bringing new personalities and new complications.

By learning how groups form, engage, and resist, and by understanding how to create an environment that emphasises the needs of the group as well as those of the individuals within it, group facilitators can support groups to maintain focus, cohesion, and effectiveness.

This workshop is designed to support staff and organisations to understand group dynamics within a supportive setting, and to manage and coordinate groups, or supervise others to do so.

Our workshop includes:

Formats – Discussions of the different forms of support groups.
Stages of group development – The stages of group formation.
