Practice With Groups

(3 Credits)

Building on the group content in Social Work Practice I and II, this course offers students opportunities for didactic learning, which includes lecture/discussion. The course considers the integration of group interventions into different agency settings and the use of groups for a variety of purposes including education, prevention, self-help, rehabilitation, advocacy, and change. Clinical skills related to the beginning, middle, and ending phases are taught along with various types and models of group practice. There are opportunities for participants to engage in structured role-playing and other exercises.
