Trauma Therapy by Trish
Award Winning Emotional Wellbeing & Educational Support Services
Directed Group Work
Directed Group Work is a Drawing & Talking activity designed to be delivered over a 5-8 week programme, enabling the Attachment Theory element to work alongside the Play Philosophy.
It supports the emotional wellbeing and development of children and adults as they develop empathy and listening skills and gradually bond as a group.
This programme follows a journey of discovery and is designed to fit snuggly into a half-term block in schools (hence the variable programme length).
How it Works
This technique helps participants to;
- develop empathy & listening skills
- form a therapeutic alliance with each other
- gradually develop group interdependence
- work as a team
In this technique, the group (3-30 people) sit facing each other in a circular / horseshoe shape to enable open discussion and sharing of creative work. Larger groups (over 8) will split into smaller table groups.
I start the session with the group rules, and then lead the session, but encouraging each group to take their own lead as the routine structure becomes familiar each week.
The artwork produced goes into individual folders and is kept safe until the programme is complete.
Directed Group Work is a 5-8 week programme, each weekly session is for 1 hour. Group members remain the same for the whole programme.
Price
The base price for this 6 week programme is as follows;
- £90 per person for individuals
Discounts are available for organisations booking the programme and taking responsibility for room hire and inviting participants. There is an upper capped price for the largest groups.
