Small Groups That Heal: Designing and Facilitating Meaningful Therapeutic Groups
TJ Rumler, MSW, LISW-CP, CCTP
Time: 12P - 3:30P EST (Lunch from 12P - 12:30P)
Location: In-Person (TBD)
CEUs: 3
Effective therapeutic groups require more than choosing a topic, preparing activities, and bringing people into the same room. Strong groups are intentionally designed experiences that balance clinical purpose, structure, relationships, psychological safety, participation, and responsive facilitation.
This interactive training will help clinicians strengthen both the design and facilitation of therapeutic, psychoeducational, support, and skills-based groups. Participants will explore how to begin with a clear purpose and desired outcomes, build predictable structures, establish group agreements, sequence activities intentionally, and select interventions that support the clinical goals of the group.
The training will also examine the facilitator’s role in creating relational safety while maintaining appropriate boundaries, accountability, and forward movement. Particular attention will be given to common group challenges, including silence, uneven participation, dominant members, reluctant participants, conflict, dysregulation, unexpected disclosures, and the pressure facilitators may feel to fill every moment with content.
The three-hour format will allow participants to move beyond theory into practical application. Through reflection, discussion, scenarios, and group-design exercises, participants will practice making facilitation decisions and leave with a framework they can use to strengthen groups across a variety of clinical settings and populations.
Objectives:
Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:
-
Identify core elements of effective therapeutic group design.
-
Develop group sessions that align with identified clinical goals.
-
Apply trauma-informed strategies to group facilitation.
-
Respond effectively to common challenges that arise in therapeutic groups.
-
Evaluate their own group facilitation practices and identify areas for growth.
Target Audience
Clinical social workers, counselors, therapists, psychologists, and other behavioral health professionals who work with individuals experiencing trauma, loss, significant adversity, or major life transitions.
Training Level
Intermediate
Prerequisites
Basic clinical experience is recommended. Previous group facilitation experience may be helpful but is not required.
