Focus on what is emerging rather than using static descriptions to give feedback to group members. Observations are used to give feedback about how people manage life situations. Group leaders focus on what is emerging and the future direction for what is occurring, rather than being locked onto the problematic or negative issues.
Working with men - Practice development workshop - Campbell Town, Tasmania
Date: 03-Sep-2010
The Grange, Campbell Town, Tasmania - Friday 3rd September 2010 from 9.30am to 4.30pm.
This workshop will allow workers to explore their own practice in working with men from their communities. Participants are encouraged to bring case studies and situations from their own practice that can be used in the wider group to refine improved practice in working with men. Situations maybe from a counselling, group work or community development context etc.
This workshop encourages participants to bring stories and examples of situations of effective practice or challenging situations when working with men. Rather than the usual training experience where case examples supplement theory and ideas, the discussion of experiences and practice stories will be central to the whole day and theoretical learning is applied to highlight good practice. This bottom up approach will make this workshop full of rich insights and learning.
The workshop will focus on:
applying the generative perspective
building stronger local networks
supporting opportunities for peer supervision
When: Friday 3rd September 2010 from 9.30am to 4.30pm Where: The Grange Meeting and Function Centre, 87 High St (Midlands Hwy) Campbell Town, Tasmania
