ABSTRACT This article describes psychoeducational telehealth groups and considerations for applying Peters’ and Luke’s Principles of Anti-oppression to this form of group practice. Psychoeducational groups are among the most common group offerings by community mental health agencies, hospitals, schools, and communities. These groups focus on education, building skills, and implementing coping strategies around different topics related to mental wellness. They “promote personal and interpersonal growth and development. Such groups often work to prevent future difficulties and enhance personal attributes and abilities’.’ Within this vital work, group workers integrate principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging into their planning, curriculum development, implementation, and evaluation of the group.

ABSTRACT Black women have a long history of resistance and self-preservation in the face of oppression and discrimination. They have been resourceful in accessing both internal resources and external formal support. The area of multicultural and social justice group work has served an important role in centering anti-oppression efforts in research, teaching, and clinical training. In this paper we discuss Principles of Anti-Oppression and offer a description and analysis of the ways in which these principles emerged in a support group designed for Black women. Recommendations for future anti-oppression group work serving Black women were proposed.

ABSTRACT While the role of the natural environment is considered integral to the therapeutic process in Adventure therapy (AT), facilitators often only passively view it as a backdrop rather than intentionally using it as a co-facilitator of change. In this article, we propose a framework – AT-EcoWellness Framework – integrating EcoWellness with AT concepts that facilitators employ to intentionally use nature in the process of planning and facilitating AT groups. We illustrate the AT-EcoWellness Framework through a planning guide and case example of a recent program.

ABSTRACT While clinical supervision is an accepted and essential means by which to promote group worker competence, as well as safeguard group members, little has been written about the practice of anti-oppressive group work supervision (GWS). This article aims to advance the use of anti-oppressive approaches to the practice of GWS. The article provides a contextual framework for GWS, models of supervision, and the targets of anti-oppressive action in the practice. Additionally, it describes the application of ten principles of anti-oppression to the practice of GWS, emerging practices, cautions, critiques, as well as implications for group work training and research.

ABSTRACT Black women experience psychological distress yet are less likely to receive mental health services. Although the barriers to service use are documented, fewer efforts have centered on interventions to mitigate these barriers. This article presents Masks Off, a community-based psychoeducational group intervention that may increase mental health service utilization and wellness among Black women. Pilot data extracted from a sample of Black women (n = 37; M = 43.71 years) suggested the intervention was well received and supported women’s development of adaptive thoughts related to strong Black womanhood and wellness. Implications related to group work with Black women are discussed.

ABSTRACT Social justice and anti-oppression have emerged as the current force of practice in counseling and group work, however, anti-oppression has rarely been discussed in group work research. We identified critical issues involved in group work research, in relation to researcher/author statuses, participant characteristics, and methodological orientations. To address these issues, we approached anti-oppressive group work research, following Peters and Luke’s Principles of Anti-oppression. We discussed the application of the principles to anti-oppressive group work research, then broached critiques and implications involved in promoting anti-oppression practice, followed by our call for structural changes to facilitate anti-oppressive research in group work.

ABSTRACT This conceptual manuscript provides a call to action for group workers to incorporate the 10 principles of anti-oppression into the theory, practice, and research of group work. The 10 principles of anti-oppression emerged from a study using Critical Analytic Synthesis as a method to critically investigate, analyze, and synthesize the anti-oppression scholarship in counseling, counselor education, and allied health and education disciplines. The authors use this manuscript as the stimulus for a special issue applying these 10 principles to group work.

ABSTRACT Work-related soft skills (e.g. requesting help and problem solving) are critical for employment success. This pilot study evaluated the feasibility of a Direct Skills Teaching (DST) group intervention to teach work-related help-seeking skills to persons with disabilities. The four-session group intervention (“Asking for Help”) was delivered in person or via telehealth to 74 participants with disabilities during COVID-19. Participants reported increased confidence with asking employers for help and reported high intervention satisfaction. In-person and telehealth soft skills groups achieved similar positive outcomes, and findings support their use to teach groups help-seeking skills with a preplanned curriculum.

ABSTRACT Social-emotional learning (SEL) interventions through group work with young students must not only incorporate cultural sustaining practices but also center antiracism. We introduce the Transformative SEL framework to promote positive mental health and youth development, with a focus on cultivating cultural assets, employing action-oriented approaches, and centering antiracist SEL pedagogy as fundamental to group work delivery. We provide an overview of the Building Community Group Curriculum, which elevates civic engagement, cultural assets, and action-based strategies in facilitating transformative SEL group work with upper elementary students. We close with recommendations for school-based group specialists that augment equity-oriented transformative SEL group work.

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in many types of disruptions from mild inconveniences to deaths. These disruptions have resulted in a host of stress responses among children and adolescents. Small group work is one way that helpers in schools and agencies can address developmental and diagnostic issues that arise. Neuroscience informs counselors understanding of stress responses and reactions in children and adolescents, as well as aids in generating activities and activating group therapeutic factors. This article describes the ways the neuroscience of pandemic stress and therapeutic factors can be used in group work with children and adolescents.
