Attend a Group and Session Experience Reflection
As the final assignment in the Group modules, you will be attending a group session of your choosing (one that you are not already a part of and will not continue to be part of – you are an observer). You should attend either a self-help or ongoing group in the community one time, and ideally, you will pick a group that you are invested in.
Examples of where to find a group:

Psychology Today in NJ: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/groups/new-jerseyLinks to an external site.
Alternatively you can choose a task group such as a town hall or school board meeting, or you can attend an online group meeting for some examples of such online therapeutic groups see https://www.mhanational.org/find-support-groups
Once you attend this group session, please write a 2-3 page response in which you address the following:
Describe the background and history of the group
What is the purpose of this group?
Is it a Treatment or Task a group?
Describe the physical surroundings of the group. What type of building/location is it hosted in? Is the room decorated? Is there coffee?
Is it online, and if so, how do they manage participation (is there hand-raising, a queue, etc.) and what platform is it hosted on (e.g. Zoom)? Do they have to show their pictures/faces?
Does the group you attended subscribe to a particular theory?
If no theory is explicitly stated, using the theories learned in these modules, identify which one you think best represents the group you attended.
Identify the norms you noticed in the group. For example, what kind of expectations are there for members to be part of this group?
Describe the dynamics of the group. How did the people in the group interact with each other? How did they interact with the leader? Were they welcoming to guests?
