SUMMARY:Group Dynamics and Facilitation
DESCRIPTION:Group support can be a valuable and effective intervention for people living with complex or difficult circumstances but group dynamics – the interplay between members – can offer challenges as well as benefits. \nThe 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. \nGroups 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\, support groups can maintain focus\, cohesion\, and effectiveness. \nTo purchase your ticket visit: https://peerpartnership.org/group-dynamics-and-facilitation/ \nAims\nThis workshop is designed to support staff and organisations in voluntary\, community\, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to understand group dynamics within a support setting and to manage and coordinate groups or supervise volunteers to do so. \nObjectives\nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will: \nUnderstand where and why group support is desirable\nBe confident in how groups form and develop\nHave explored situations that can occur and how they can be managed\nHave considered how to overcome challenges in a group situation \nCost\n£75 per person. To purchase your ticket visit: https://peerpartnership.org/group-dynamics-and-facilitation/ \nOur workshop includes:\nFormats: discussions of the different forms of support groups\nStages of group development: the stages of group formation\nGroup factors: the various elements that affect group dynamics\nInterventions: how to manage challenging behaviour in a group setting \nWho is it for?\nThis workshop is for staff and volunteers of voluntary\, community\, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) across the UK that provide support groups. Participants do not have to have been previously involved in group activities as this workshop can work as an introduction to the theories of group dynamics. There will be a maximum of 15 participants per workshop to allow for meaningful engagement. \nPaying by invoice\nIf you can’t pay by card or would rather pay by invoice\, please call us on 0117 955 5038 or email info@peerpartnership.org and we can reserve your space and organise this. \nIf you would like to arrange a session specifically for your organisation or would like more information about this workshop or The Peer Partnership\, please contact us on 0117 955 5038 or email info@peerpartnership.org
