Working with adolescents in groups is an ideal modality as it is supported by the adolescent need to operate within a peer culture. It also provides challenges of being able to overcome the hesitancy often seen in young people to trust those outside of their own social circle. Action methods are particularly suited to working with groups to support the building of strong, supportive connections within the group as well as helping young people make sense of and be able to articulate their experiences.

For those who work with youth (11 to 24 years old) online or in-person:

Therapists, Counselors, Educators, Teachers, Coaches, Substance use Counselors and parents.  It is especially relevant to those working with groups.

Goal:

Explore the definitions and elements of Group Development and Group Process and the ways in which Psychodrama and related action methods can support meeting the challenges at each stage of group development.

Objectives: 

• Define concisely what is meant by the terms Group Development and Group Process;

• Explain the parallels between Group Development and Individual Development;

• List and define the stages of group development and the challenges for each stage;

• Describe and demonstrate action activities that support the group process needed to negotiate successfully the challenges of each stage of group development.
