Description: |
||
|
This workshop will build
upon the previous workshop. Adhering
to best practice for evidenced based group treatment for dual disorders
requires treatment staff that is well-versed in group
counseling principles, utilize a core curriculum, adhere to a topic group
protocol and have experience in facilitating groups for dual disorder
clients. This session is for participants who have received prior training
and have a basic understanding of topic groups for dual disorders. The focus
of the session will be practice-based and include group simulations, case
studies and designing protocols to ensure best practice is adhered to by all
staff who conduct groups in your treatment program.
It will also focus on the use of an adherence scale to insure fidelity
to the group model, which can be used by the group leader to rate oneself
and/or used by a supervisor to rate the group leader. Participants will also discuss case studies
of specific dual disorder clients involved in group process. |
