Groupwork
Groupwork is an effective route to accessing therapy and sustainable change. It has the benefit of normalising experiences, sharing practical knowledge and building peer support. Effective Groupworking can speed up the change process, helping present challenging information to resistant people in a more accessible manner. For groupwork to yield the best outcomes, highly skilled practitioners should be used who can gently promote key learning whilst retaining a safe and secure environment.
