Discussion 2: Group InterventionWhen leading a group, it is the responsibility of the clinical social worker to find a way to enable all members to benefit from the experience. Although some members may not benefit, it is important for the clinical social worker to identify the positive aspects that he/she is witnessing. This strategy may create a feeling of empowerment for the members.For this Discussion, it may be helpful to review the video of the “Levy” group session again. https://drive.google.com/file/d/18dESmugh9exEFqR4c...By Day 4Post your description of at least three benefits that are evident in the “Levy” group video.

Group members Jake and Bill shared their experiences adjusting to civilian life. The first benefit of the group is their ability to share their experiences in a safe environment without being judged. Although the group topic was sensitive in nature, the group members still felt comfortable disclosing their personal experiences. For instance, Jake shared that he drinks to “shut out images” of his experiences while on active duty. According to Westwood et al. (2010), veterans returning to civilization are more likely to develop post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD). The second benefit of this process group is the relatability among the group members. For instance, Bill and Jake shared how they use beer to cope with their daily struggles. Although Bill and Jake developed unhealthy coping skills, it allowed the group members the ability to share a commonality and identify how their drinking has negatively impacted their lives. Thus, peer support benefits the group by reducing their feelings of being overwhelmed with emotions (Westwood et al., 2010). Peer support assists veterans with process their feelings instead of internalizing them. The third benefit of the process group is the facilitator’s ability to empower and encourage the group members by validating their experiences yet challenging them to explore the impact of their trauma. Furthermore, the Levy group video provides the group members with a safe environment that promotes self-awareness, emotional expression, and cognitive reframing to process their trauma. Effective Group SessionThis group has effectively assisted members with processing their trauma by creating a sense of brotherhood. According to Westwood et al. (2010), veteran groups involve built-in peer input and the potential for interpersonal support and social regulation benefits. For instance, in the case of Jake, he disclosed that he does not feel comfortable with revealing the trauma to his wife, which created tension in his marriage. This group allowed Jake to identify how his behavior and drinking have negatively impacted his relationship with his wife. Also, the group provides Jake with the ability to disclose his symptoms of PTSD, such as nightmares which will assist in his healing process. ReferencesLaureate Education. (Producer). (2013d).

Colleague 2: Caneshia Benefits of Process GroupOne benefit for the Levy group is the group’s ability to be transparent with personal emotions. According to Westwood et al. (2010), veterans returning to civilization are more likely to develop post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD). Hence, processing trauma experienced can reduce symptoms of PTSD. This was illustrated when conflict arise between Jake and Bill. Jake and Bill were able to use conflict to express personal experiences and feel safe without being judged. Jake and Bill were able to use differences to lead to similarities in the trauma experienced. To go further in my explanation although the gentleman had similar experiences, the trauma was dealt with differently. Groups members were able to observe a variety way of coping. Group members were able to identify positive and negative effects of coping skills. Noticing the positive and negative in coping skills can also be a benefit. Peer support benefits the group by reducing their feelings of being overwhelmed with emotions (Westwood et al., 2010). Peer support of other group members can provide wisdom to those traveling down negative coping skills. One can express the negative outcomes of certain coping skills. Hence, allowing one to heal rather add to trauma already experienced. The Levy group video illustrates how a group allows one to feel safe. The group provides a safe environment for individuals to convey without feeling threaten or judge. One is able to identify strengths and positive coping skills.Effective Group Session According to Westwood et al. (2010), veteran groups involve built-in peer input and the potential for interpersonal support and social regulation benefits. The Levy group has been successful through group members ability to resolve conflict on their own. Although conflict between Jake and Bill got heated, the mem was able to come on one accord of understanding, they both are hurting and became on unit instead of one. With group support, Jake was able to identify and comfortably express struggles with his marriage. In addition, the group allowed Jake to process his trauma and identify his triggers. In addition provide effective coping skills leading to healthy living.Reference: Laureate Education. (Producer). (2013d). Levy (Episode 6) [Video file]. In Sessions. Producer.
