Preparing a Child for Group

I’m studying for my Social Science class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

Directions:

There are a number of evidence-based strategies for working with children who have behavior problems—many of those strategies use groups. In this Discussion, you identify a group curriculum recognized by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and explain how you would prepare a child to enter that group for the first time.

Post:

• Describe at least two advantages of group work with children.
• Briefly describe an evidenced-based group curriculum found through the SAMSHA resources for children with disruptive behavior disorders.
• Explain how you would prepare a 10-year-old child to enter this group for children with disruptive behavior disorders.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the resources. Long with additional peer-reviewed resources.
