Abstract
ABSTRACT This study demonstrates that social workers who participate in online group work that utilizes LGBTQIA+ films, discussion, and didactic training on LGBGQIA+ history, term, and issues can strengthen their empathy for LGBTQIA+ people and reduce their homophobia in preparation for serving people in LGBTQIA+ communities better. A total of 24 social workers from the Istanbul Branch of the Association of Social Workers, 12 in the experimental group and 12 in the control group, participated in the research. It has been observed that online group work, which is carried out with nested design, which is one of the mixed methods, significantly reduces the homophobia levels of social workers. Workshops and group work should be carried out to reduce the LGBTQIA+phobic attitudes of social workers, and these studies should be prepared in a way that includes the life experiences of LGBTQIA+ people.
期刊介绍：
Social Work with Groups is a unique quarterly journal of community and clinical practice, and an important reference publication for those in the social work profession who value and seek to understand the small group. The journal addresses the issues of group work in psychiatric, rehabilitative, and multipurpose social work and social service agencies; crisis theory and group work; the use of group programs in clinical and community practice; and basic group competencies for all social work professionals. The contributions reflect a sophisticated knowledge of the use of the group as a learning medium and a highly developed understanding of instructional technology in the teaching of social group work knowledge and skills.
