Discussion 11 - Why should every session and group

Gd 11

Why should every session and group have a closing?

• Think about the groups you have participated in...how did the facilitator close out the group?
• What was the closing phase of the 12 Angry Men group?
• How would the closing phase of a group dealing with bereavement differ from the closing phase of a task group dedicated to organizing a bake sale? Think in terms of numbers of sessions, closing exercises, commitments, member handling separation, etc...
