I am highly confident that I would be the ideal candidate to fill the position of the group facilitator. Due to my prior education from Barry University School of social work on trauma informed care, cultural competency, and cultural sensitivity. My knowledge, skill- set, and professional experiences as a facilitator at Better Way of Miami along with other previous job functions have given me insight on how to empathetically interact with this population in a therapeutic manner. In addition, I have always had a strong interest in working with clients who suffers with substance abuse as well as mental health issues. My primary goal is to motivate healthy well-being by developing a variety of topics and interventions that will challenge clients

    AA Meeting Reflection

    I had the opportunity of being able to attend and observe The Serenity Seekers, an open Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) twelve step meeting. Upon arrival, I received a warm welcome by many different group members. They introduced themselves to me and one of the members even brought me pamphlets that provided me with information regarding what their A.A. program entailed. At first, I was apprehensive about going to an A.A. meeting; however, the members were all accepting of my presence, which made me feel comfortable. By accepting me, the members were displaying cohesiveness, the primary therapeutic factor allowing A.A. members to feel a sense of belonging, acceptance, and validation amongst the group.…

    As I observed the NA group, it was clear the group had an instillation of hope. Group members are given a chance to enter NA with the possibility of change and growth. Hearing stories from members who are willing to share gives other members a sense of hope for a better future. Members are able to relate to these stories and experiences being told and use them to get their confidence and power back. Individuals hear these traumatic stories and become inspired to stay clean (Corey, Corey, & Corey,…

    Group-Type Facilitation

    Group-Type Facilitation: An examination of Strengths and Areas for Improvement My desire to become a counselor is derived from a direct experience with substance abuse and subsequent recovery; therefore, the substance abuse population is the primary population I am seeking to work with as a professional counselor. There are several reasons why group counseling is utilized with the addicted population. These include the ability for one counselor to see multiple clients, due to managed care limitations; the ability for individuals to build interpersonal relationships with others as a means of problem-solving and communication modeling; and, the ability for others to witness both the success and relapses of other members as a part of the learning…

    Group Work Strengths And Weaknesses

    As a collaborator, my strengths were that I made sure that everything got done on time and that it was done right. My weaknesses were that I didn’t really talk to my group as much as I should have and I kind of didn’t put responsibility on anyone but myself. Group work requires talking to others, otherwise you’ll just pull all of the weight and the other group members will get a free ride. Honestly, I feel comfortable controlling the whole process of group work and have people just follow what I say so I know that things are getting done right. This is probably not good, but I don’t feel like I can trust groups because a lot of the time people don’t do what they’re supposed to.…
