SW 462 - Adv Group Work W/ Vuln. Pops.

Institution:

Simmons University

Subject:

Description:

(Prerequisite: SW 577 and 411B ) This course builds upon the theories and skills learned in SW-577 Social Work with Groups, but takes them to a more sophisticated level. By focusing on vulnerable client systems in an array of settings, students will further develop the capacity to promote mutual aid by responding to and catalyzing group dynamics and process. Additional attention will be paid to the impacts of difference amongst group members, and between the worker and the group members. Through action and reflection, participants will be examining their own group work practice very closely through the use of experiential exercises, journaling, and critical incident analysis, and by hearing about their colleagues' work as well. Students must have taken SW-577, and must have an ongoing group to facilitate or observe in order to benefit from this class. This course meets the requirement for a clinical practice elective.
