Group Counseling - Types of Groups

[@rando42069]

It's interesting to learn information like this after having worked in a non-clinical position in a psych facility. I used to facilitate groups there as a certified peer specialist. This info is useful to me because I intend to return to the mental health field. Thank you!

Thank you for these videos. They have been incredibly helpful references for me during my studies.

So, would it be safe to say that it's not professionally appropriate to have a group with Psychotherapy and Counseling characteristics simultaneously, or is it professionally appropriate?

I've never heard of psychotherapy and counseling groups described or taught as distinctively separate, please elaborate. Counseling groups are characterized as 1. Psychoeducational (anxiety group learns cbt skills) 2. Support( ie trauma, addiction) and 3. Process (group as laboratory)

Actually, they are being taught as seperate now. I just completed my counselling introduction course at my university. It was presented almost exactly the way Dr. Grande presented it.
