    YESHIVA UNIVERSITY WURZWEILER SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK SOCIAL GROUP WORK I SWK 6023 FALL 2020 Dr. Sari Skolnik ([email protected]) COURSE DESCRIPTION Social Group Work I, a second year, clinical practice course, is designed to educate the student for responsible social work practice with particular competence in the social group work method. It builds upon the knowledge and skills acquired in first year Foundations practice course, and on liberal arts content acquired in undergraduate Psychology and Sociology courses. The social group work specialization provides students with the knowledge base to develop individual cognitive and behavioral change through small groups. Prevention and rehabilitative practice approaches are taught for dealing with individual social and psychological problems. Emphasis is also on using the group work method for enhancing normal individual growth and development in community and school settings. A major emphasis in the sequence is development of the professional self to assure the evolution of disciplined practice based on purpose, sanction, knowledge, values and skills. The course is integrated with field learning through case presentations, group simulations and class discussion. Field practice is in a variety of clinical and community settings, such as mental health clinics, substance abuse facilities, hospitals, child welfare agencies, homeless shelters, domestic violence programs, community centers, public schools and settlement houses. I. COURSE COMPETENCIES This course addresses Council on Social Work Education Competencies #6, #7, #8, and #9. Competency #6 is measured with student outcome data. Competency 7 –Assess Individuals, Families, Groups, Organizations, and Communities Social workers understand that assessment is an ongoing component of the dynamic and interactive process of social work practice with, and on behalf of, diverse individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.

Developing Educational Groups in Social Work Practice Abstract Education is integral to social work practice with groups and a central component of educational groups. Yet the social work literature has not offered much guidance in the development of educational groups other than to report on the content and/or evaluation of groups that are focused on a specific condition or population. This paper offers a generic process model for educational groups that are developed and led by social workers. The educational groups described here are differentiated from psychoeducational groups, which are treatment-oriented. The paper provides guidelines on how to set up educational groups with particular attention to their structure, content of the curriculum, implementation, and evaluation. Two checklists are offered to assist in the development and implementation and evaluation of educational groups. Keywords education, psychoeducation, groups, social work Disciplines Social Work Comments Reprinted from Social Work with Groups, Volume 26, Issue 2, 2003, pages 5-21.

Clemans, DSW Associate Professor Wurzweiler School of Social Work Yeshiva University 2495 Amsterdam Ave. New York, NY 10033 [email protected] INTRODUCTION A. Overview of this Course within the Social work Curriculum This course is designed to increase students’ knowledge and skill in social work practice with groups. Covered are the generic knowledge and skills that social workers require to work in groups with vulnerable populations. An aim of the course is to assist students in recognizing the efficacy of practice with groups in a variety of clinical and community settings. Emphasis is on the necessary skills for influencing individual change through small groups. Special issues include values and ethics in group work practice and social justice concerns. This is an elective course that builds upon the knowledge and skills acquired in the first year Foundations of Practice courses. A. Relevance of these Case Studies to this Course Each of the three case studies will be used on many levels in this course. For example, aspects of each case will illustrate the need/opportunities for various types of groups such as socialization groups, therapy and counseling groups, support and self help groups, and task groups. The relevance of each of these types of groups will be discussed and explored in detail, specific to the cases; how group work can be helpful to the family members and staff involved in these cases. These cases will show how specific types of groups are indicated with problems such as abuse/neglect, mental illness addiction, depression, physical illness, parenting, and social isolation, and other key issues presented in the cases.

Course Information 12:00pm Wednesday Collaborative as needed • Recorded Lecture Videos will be uploaded to blackboard weekly. Facial Covering Policy: The Texas Tech University System has implemented a mandatory Facial Covering Policy to ensure a safe and healthy campus experience. Current research on the COVID-19 virus suggests that there is a significant reduction in the potential for transmission of the virus from person-to-person by wearing a mask/facial covering that covers the nose and mouth areas. Because of the potential for transmission of the virus, and to be consistent with the University’s requirement, students on campus are to wear a mask/facial covering. Observing safe distancing practices while on campus by spacing out and wearing a mask/facial covering will greatly improve our odds of having a safe and healthy campus experience. Students requesting an exemption may need to wear a clear plastic face shield instead of a face mask. Students needing this accommodation should register with Student Disability Services and provide the appropriate documentation supporting this request. No accommodation exists that would exempt a student from wearing a mask/facial covering at any university-sponsored activity or event. For religious or any other exemption-related questions, students should contact the Office of Student Affairs.

Values and types of knowledge that have particular relevance for group work practice are addressed in Section I. Sections II through V identify the required knowledge and major worker tasks and skills in each of the phases of group work practice, from planning to ending. These sections are structured around the STANDARDS FOR SOCIAL WORK understanding that groups change and evolve over time, thus requiring PRACTICE WITH GROUPS changes in the worker’s tasks and responsibilities.
