Overview

There is an art to leading groups with adolescents, and Drs. Janice DeLucia-Waack and Allen Segrist have clearly mastered it.

Beginning by discussing the fundamentals of psychoeducational groups with teens, DeLucia-Waack and Segrist go on to masterfully demonstrate how to design a group to address cognitive, affective, and behavioral skills that nearly all adolescents can benefit from. Modeling essential group facilitation techniques, they teach you how to weave together stage-appropriate activities while also responding to the needs of the group in each moment. Learn everything from building group cohesion, to reducing members’ anxiety, to teaching assertiveness skills.

From pre-group preparation to healthy terminations, and all the stages in between, this video is overflowing with practical information on how to create and lead effective groups with adolescents.
