About This Course
Mental health and substance use recovery has a deep-rooted tradition of predominantly utilizing individual counseling sessions built around treatment planning goals. However, group therapy models have a long-standing history of evidence based therapeutic value in the process and stages of change. Recently, we have seen a shift in organizational structure to utilize group therapy for a myriad of reasons, including cost effectiveness. This is also accompanied with some resistance by clinicians and direct service providers to utilize the group therapy model as a primary modality in recovery planning. Many direct service providers may lack the skills or understanding of how to develop, manage and align treatment planning goals with group therapy models. This training will assist direct service providers in understanding the evidence-based value of group therapy strategies, how to utilize them in aligning with treatment planning and how to manage group therapy sessions that support best outcomes of the participant.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the foundations of the EBP and the Evidenced Based Group Model
- Describe the value of implementing group therapy strategies into service delivery
- Identify the types of settings and populations that EBGT has been successful in
- Learn and implement different skills for facilitating effective group therapy sessions
