Are you interested in developing your understanding and skill in facilitating groups and training?
Starting in April 2024, the Physis Scotland Certificate in Group Work blended course will be delivered in-person and online over 6 days of interactive and experiential training, in a 3-month period.
The Certificate in Group Work is suitable for practitioners from any modality who are already in practice, from trainees in advanced training to seasoned practitioners.
The principles of we-ness, present-centred-relating and shared responsibility (Tudor and Summers, 2015) will underpin our work together as well as provide a lens through which to explore our own responses and process as a group, as we learn together about the development and dynamics of groups and think about how to lead them.
On completion of this Certificate course, you will have:
The Certificate consists of three taught modules over three weekends and one assessment
Module 1: A Secure Base: Forming, making contact and anchoring
Module 2: Exploration, Negotiation, Participation: Testing boundaries and finding the edges
Module 3: Integration and Co-creation: Clarifying your own style and philosophy
You will be given written feedback based on the tutor’s assessment of your skills practice in Module 3. Following attendance of all three modules and participation in experiential group therapy plus skills practice in Module 3, you will receive a Certificate in Group Work from Physis Scotland.
