Working Therapeutically with Men in a Group

Group counselling has its own set of dilemmas for men that must be addressed by counsellors for it to be a successful therapeutic experience. Men usually attend group counselling because they have been mandated to do so by authorities or by significant others, usually in order to address abusive behaviour.

This one-day training, provides an overview of some of the core issues that almost all men’s-group facilitators face. These issues include how to motivate participants, develop a therapeutic relational process, how to create safety within the sessions, how to monitor the group process, how to monitor individual progress and how to intervene effectively.

This course utilises relevant state-based risk assessment and management frameworks and developed in line with national competency CHCDFV009 Establish Change promoting relationship with users of domestic and family violence.
