Developmental issues of adolescence present a special challenge in group. This two-part workshop will outline these issues, utilizing a demonstration group to illustrate leadership response to resistances, acting out, etc. The second half will focus specifically on effects of trauma on the adolescent, the group and the leader, with large and small group discussion.
