how discussion topics made certain member uncomfortable due to the manner in which they responded or lack thereof. The facilitator appeared to be trauma informed and how information was presented seemed to keep the group members safety in mind when talking.

conversation but instead family members would interject when they felt inclined to do so. My father assumed the facilitator role and informally greeted the group and provided us with an overview of the purpose of the meeting. My eldest brother assumed the internal leader role and would support my father when needed. If the group discussion started to get heated, and the facilitator was unusual in his attempts to redirect and calm the group, the internal leader would interject. My youngest…

There were some goals expressed, Jen shared that that she was promoted in her job and she is so happy about it and Natalie. T shared that she started the gym as she has planned and that she hopes to continue going. And personally, for the first time I…

Essentially, I now feel ready to incorporate theory and feedback from my seminar group into three main areas of group facilitation:…
Leadership. During our fifth meeting, Danielle was the designated facilitator. She began the session with a “diversity activity”, where she asked each of us to share a personal fact about ourselves.
