Application of PROCESS GROUP on group leading and team building
Introduction:
Group work is one of major intervention modules of social work practice with demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing personal functioning and reducing the negative impact of environmental stressors and developmental challenges through mutual support, vicarious learning and instillation of hope. Though processing of group experiences by sharing and mutual feedback among group members, a group is effective in growing self-awareness, expanding horizon, learning new knowledge, changing attitudes and enhancing skills and sense of control in managing stress.
A group facilitator needs to deal with issues about the use of self, transferences and countertransference.
The facilitator will learn how to:
1. Develop a holding environment to contain emotions of group members,

3. Facilitating mutual aid and interpersonal learning among members in group.
