Referrals will come through the university/college counseling program via General Questionnaire, DSM IV, DSM V, or Addiction Severity Index (ASI) will be our screening and assessment tools. Any adult 18 or old or older, doesn't feel they have a problem, but someone close to them does. If the person identifies as the family member with the substance use problem, that person cannot qualify for DSM IV Drug or Alcohol Dependency nor Substance Use Disorder Moderate to Severe, and if has taken the ASI scores 4 or higher in "Family.” (Samuel, 2006)

Post group Evaluation:

Clients will fill out a survey identifying the progress/change in themselves. The program is set up based on the stages of change model (Loma Linda University Health, 2023) and cognitive behavior therapy Franklin Reality Model (Setzer, 2004). The survey will ask them:

· What complaints did you have in your life at the time of the first session?

· What did you choose to work on during your time in the group?

· How concerned about this problem were you at that time? 1-5

· What stage of change were you in at the beginning of the class?

· How convinced are you that you were in that stage of change? 1-5

· What stage are you in at the end of the class? 1-5

· How strongly do you feel you are in that stage of change now? 1-5

· How much did you change because of this class? 1-5

· Has your perspective changed on the situation? 1-5

· What is a lesson they learned while being in the group?

· Do you feel the group was helpful in improving your life.

If they can be more aligned with the betterment of their lives, the class was successful. Even if they can’t fully articulate it. If they can identify change in a more positive direction even if it hurt, the class was a success.

Also, we can print out the needed forms and have them on hand to pass out or review in session. We can also print some consent forms to reflect rules, and have them posted on the wall, door, and or tables. The fact of it being a closed group it, would be less likely that we’d have to go over them in serious detail every session since those same people have already agreed with each other to attend and honor confidentiality.

The group can elaborate on what they feel is important and what the rules are for the group. We don't move on until we agree.

How we would establish longevity of confidentiality:

Signed group rules along with the consent forms.
Starting the class off reviewing those group rules,
Letting the group define them
and agree on the explanation before moving on in the session.
Reminding them people have a choices, aren't always integral, and sometimes make mistakes reminds them it can be broken.
Encourage them to share only what they are willing and comfortable with.
Remind them the group is voluntary so everyone there is choosing to be.

Stage 2 -- Power Struggle (Storming):

Neutralize situations,
Working their struggles into the group lessons for the day for relatability and lesson application,
telling jokes and making references they all laugh at and relate to, gaining cohesion during the storming stage and try to move into normalcy.

Stage 3 – Cooperation and Integration (Norming) (Hansen, 2009):
Ways to formulate a group flow include:

Having everyone speak at some point of the group even if they are feeling toxic. This makes them comfortable speaking up for themselves, normal to ask for help instead of bottle up, and teaches them "B-SS 8. Advocacy skills for self and others and ability to assert self, when necessary (American School Counselor Association, 2021)."
Clients choosing to, B-SS 4. Empathize; acknowledge; encourage; and move past it, actively applying the standard of "B-SMS 6. Ability to identify and overcome barriers," (American School Counselor Association, 2021).
Encouraging and supporting vulnerability builds respect and connection, and changes the group norms to be more open and outspoken via imitative behavior and catharsis (Yalom, 1995).

Students in groups in these types of leadership styles are more likely to produce hire quality contributions than in an authoritative or delegative leadership style (Cherry, 2023). I chose this style because I want the group members to produce at a higher quality level. This style is best for this group because the goal is to get the practice of making decisions in their lives, and get the experience of seeing changes in outcomes with those healthy decisions. ]]> 2023-09-08 17:47:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ptaylor1216/bqe7wujvy14griqt/wish/2691089128 ptaylor1216 https://padlet.com/ptaylor1216/bqe7wujvy14griqt/wish/2691315903 *Instillation of Hope will come when the clients see they are ok even though they are not focusing on pleasing people, say no when needed, and set healthy boundaries (Yalom, 1995).
*Learning a balance of Interpersonal Learning and the Imparting of Information empowers them outside of the codependent relationship and helps build their autonomy for interdependent relationship (Yalom, 1995).]]> 2023-09-08 23:17:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ptaylor1216/bqe7wujvy14griqt/wish/2691315903 Educ.
