2.9.09: 1st online tutorial TUOG

again, we start a new journey here, with Tan Sri datuk Alex Chew ^.^
yeah, it is so fast that we received the mission impossible from Alex himself
before this, i was running a group for youth (all chinese, aged between 16-20), with referal, and some of them was bound with court order.
currently, there are some children being refered by a home, what i am not satisfy is, they refer the children just like that. what i can do is just received, accept, and see how is the children. as this is formal request.... .....

so, currently i am doing a small group with 3 of the children from this particular children home
is on 8 session (2 months) meeting weekly. and i am using the growth group method of condut, is a semi structure session (talk + activity), after each activity, will have a sharing and learning, more on psychoeducation setting

when alex asked, what is my group criteria? i guess, he is asking about the demographic factor, the selection process.... and he is interested to know my planning. will make some time to draw the outline and post it online

for myself, i just finished a group work, 3 days 2 night. it's really challenging, and i do learn a lot. and, i found that working with mixed group and solo group (only chinese) really make a lot of different! when the online tutorial on, i asked pris, how does she feel with this "deng Lan" group?

well, i was just thinking, how can i integrate what i have learned at CPPD to apply in this small group that i am runing?How can SWP and Therapeutic story be incorporated through the activities planned for the group. i found that story is really a good method to grasp the attention of children. creating my own story, or start to collect the story will be my job then, and with the story telling, it is really easy to convey my message for the client i worked with.
must get myself more competence in order to tell a story

this round
the mission is about to set up a proposal, with justification, rational and the planning activity, what make ALS members choose the particular activity and so on... need to submit 14 Oct 2009. it's going to be fast.

alex also want us to come out with 3 examples, or difficulties when running with the group.
ya... i need to start my work again...
got to find a day to close up my story, and my show...
