A Case Study Of Small Group Identity And Values

1. State who the members of your group are and describe the task. The members of the group are 579430T, 972816H, 475745X and 536694H. The tasks will be teams and fixtures for the day which requires a team member to put a group of 16 students into groups of two for the event, and also have back up plans for the day.

Not all the participants follow the rules and it is causing frustration for facilitators of the groups. With the permission of the counselors, the Certified Peer Specialist, and the Director of the program. I dedicated a group about rules/norms and I broke it down to three sections on the whiteboard; rules for you, Peers and the Program. I decided to involve all clients because it’s their program. Staff members and the Director are here to support them, but their recovery goals are in their hands.

This group would go over women’s issues. The group leader would need to screen member’s to be sure that the members would benefit from this experience. This group would include six group members that would meet once a week for an hour. The leader would encourage the ladies to talk about some of those issues in their lives that would stop the group member from moving forward. For example: one lady would come into counseling because she has self esteem problems.

The support group I am interested in using for my Support Group Paper is a support group called Narcotics Anonymous.

The meeting started with the AA promise and 12 steps, which I believe they start every meeting with. There was not one specific topic focused

The purpose of this paper is to discuss and reflect on my experience attending an Alcoholic Anonymous meeting. Alcoholic anonymous (AA) was created to help individuals effected by Alcohol collaborate and support each other during their time of need. All AA meetings are structured differently. However, there are only two types of meetings: opened and closed meetings. During my experience, I attended an open meeting where anyone can come regardless of a diagnosed alcohol problem or the level of experience one had with participating in such meetings.

1. The movie I have selected for the identity analysis assignment will be the Breakfast Club (1986). The movie is about five teenagers who are from different groups in high school cliques; the popular girl (Claire), the loner (Allison), the athlete (Andrew), the nerd Brain) and the outsider (Bender). They spend the Saturday in detention together.

The group leader stated that goals that needs to be accomplish in this group which is stay sober day by day. The group leader also discuss in the group session about alcoholism. The group leader stated that alcoholism is a disease, and alcoholism progress and a chronic disorder.

Based on the article, "Group Identification and College Adjustment: The Experience of Encountering a Novel Stereotype," coming in contact with a novel stereotype can positively and negatively affect both performance and self esteem in college life. Written by Matthew L. Newman, Kelli A Keough, and Richard M. Lee, this article states the examination of entering a new environment and confronting a negative stereotype for the first time. The article states that members of particular groups may differ with the strength of the group identity they belong to. The information explained is relevant because college students can face numerous stereotypes at differing levels of identification.

Whilst conflict is inevitable Harding provides insight in describing conflict “as the beginning of consciousness”. Realistic group conflict theory (RGCT) offers a behavioural approach to conflict resolution demonstrated in Sheriff Robert Cave’s experiment.

Initially the situation presented with a competitive edge as the groups clamoured for the scarce resource .

1) Why do I want to bring people together? I would like to bring people in my community together as an effort to combat substance abuse. Substance abuse has been an ongoing issue in my community and unfortunately is on the rise. 2) Who should be represented?

Group Reflection Elements of Yalom’s therapeutic factors were apparent over the course of the semester while experiencing and conducting our breakout groups.

Group Cohesiveness Of the 11 factors, group cohesiveness or the warmth of the group in which everyone felt that they belonged was readily apparent at the

Who makes the rules? When should the rules be discussed? How should the rules be discussed? (Jacobs, Masson, Harvill, Schimmel, 2012) Rules in groups can protect members feelings, keep them safe from attacks from other group members, stimulate sharing and participation, help to build relationships, keep members on track and give members freedom to express who they are. Basic rules that ensure safety and comfort in groups relate to attendance, mutual respect among members, smoking and eating during sessions, attacking other members and confidentiality.

The role that I played in my group are initiator-contributor, coordinator, and recorder. In my group, I propose a new idea for my chapter on what to do as an exercise for the whole class. The idea that I came up with was that each group will create their own band, decide who the leader will be, what the other team members roles is and, in the end, explain why they picked those roles. This exercise will not just cover the chapter I'm going through but it will also summarize the chapters my group will present and, in each team, they will experience conflict and different type of communication skills.
