17 Rap groups Affinity groups -- similar backgrounds or issues Informal support groups Equal-time Support Groups 17

18 What Why How When Fine points 18

19 What—structure of the group  Groups of 4-6 people  Divide time equally; each person takes a turn talking  Speaker shares what on his or her mind or heart  Listeners listen with full attention  Appreciation of speaker after turn 19

20 Why use this format? provides a safe, structured place for sharing teaches good listening skills people learn to handle emotions effectively creates understanding and compassion for others can be facilitated by group members process can be used with staff, family, friends, work 20

21 How to facilitate it 1. Explain the purpose and process of equal time support groups 2. Facilitator reminds people of the attitudes of good listening Warm undivided attention Eye contact Respectful body posture Positive facial expression Acceptance of feelings No advice, no comments, no judgments Confidential 3. Arrange groups of 4-6, sitting in close circles (not around tables) 21

22 How to facilitate it (cont’d) 4. Ask each person to share one thing that’s going well (1 min ea) 5. Divide time equally; each person takes a turn talking 6. Speaker shares what’s on his or her mind or heart; can remain quiet 7. Listeners listen with full attention 8. Appreciations from people on each side of speaker 9. Facilitator thanks group for good attention; reminder about confidentiality 22

23 When to use it  During Mental Toughness  At beginning of staff meetings  As part of family time with students  During community meetings  At Policy Committee meetings occasionally  For processing an emotional community experience  As part of regular counseling program 23

24 Fine points for facilitator  Not a conversation: one person speaking, others just listening  Staff need to be in groups at first to set the tone, maintain safety  Turns of 7-10 minutes work well to begin; reserve 45-60 minutes total  If new group, suggest telling life stories; otherwise, speaker’s choice  Rule: don’t use turn to dump anger or criticism on another person in the group  Keep time; pass watch or timepiece; give speaker 30-second time check  If emotions arise, welcome the feelings  Remember to distinguish people from their feelings  Structure appreciations thoughtfully; these often take longer than planned  If confidentiality is broken, make it a teachable moment 24

25 Pitfalls to avoid letting equal time go & slide into conversation group members not giving their full attention individual using turn to criticize another group member insisting that each person talks; not making it voluntary sharing breaking confidentiality opening up emotionally to traumatic experience, without follow-up support
