2.Question

Asha has been asked to lead a group at the drug treatment center. The topic of the group is anger

management. The group is planning to meet once a week for five weeks. Asha is nervous because it is

her first time leading a group by herself. She is working on planning the first session. She reviewed her

group counseling text book from her graduate program focusing on planning the first session. She knows she is supposed to cover rules, introductions, and purpose, while also making the group interesting.

Asha is feeling overwhelmed because of her lack of experience and lack of confidence in her ability to plan effective groups. She approaches a co-worker who has been working at the treatment center for eight years. When she presents her concern about planning, her colleague suggests she think of

planning the three phases: the warm-up, the middle, and the closing. Asha takes her colleague’s

suggestion and starts to plan the three phases. She remembers her professor’s stressing the importance  of the opening few minutes of the first session because the opening sets the tone for the group. She also

remembers that the closing of the first session is different from the closing of other sessions. Explain your Answers in details like it is the actual session:

1.    What suggestions would you give Asha for the warm-up phase of the first session of this group?

2.    What suggestions would you give Asha for the middle phase of the first session of this group?

3.    What suggestions would you give Asha for the closing phase of the first session of this group?
