What do I do when a group just isn’t interested? How do I deal with “monopolizers” or skeptics in a group context? How do I keep the group focused and engage all the members? Group facilitation involves attending to multiple simultaneous group processes and content; yet a well-facilitated group can be a powerful vehicle for mutual support and positive change. This workshop examines several key issues in group dynamics and presents practical tips and strategies that you can use right away. Workshop content will draw from theory and research on effective facilitation techniques, with an emphasis on interactive, hands-on learning. Participants are encouraged to bring their own challenging group facilitation questions and practice dilemmas for discussion and troubleshooting in the session.
