after a long break.......

yes, i am back again :)
it's had been a long time since i stop here.
before this, i had puposed to my superior WHY not do a group work with children in HOME? as there is alotof the children suffer psychological, emotionally, and most of them are in disequilibrium of emotion state. WHY not we do it and start group work?

for screening purpose, i had go to the HOME 3 times to review the file
the categorization work was done by my bos...

YES, finally, my group was given 10 of them, there will be a co-facilitator to help me.
and i am also become a co-facilitator for another group.

the preparation stage is a lot of work
screening, questionnaire
interview n etc

i would like to thanks: Melinda, Priscilla, Seok Binn, Phaik Nee and Cheng for theri effort to come out with a operatin Young Ones
with the agreement with them, i had distributed this mannual for my team in my workplace as guidance.

YES, i am not sure whether the team are going to use it?
but myself will try to run once and do some fine tuning :)

ALEX, thanky you again for willing to be my supervisor...
i will update u with my progress via blog and email

TQ

i think i am lucky,
and i think,
i am happy with what i doing now, though it is limited resources
but i learn to appreciate what i have and
contribute my effort for my community setting.

starting a group in children home

yes, this coming May
i am going to start a group work with children
i am having fear actually
after i had reviewing the background of the children
most of the children facing the emotional pain, unsecurity, violence, bullying, and the most important is most of the group children had been sexually abuse by ppl they know, include their parents

i am going to start a group work with them
TRUST is the most challenge issues for me.
i share the cppd group work module from ALS members with my colleague
i didn;t follow up with them whether it is applicable for them
but, for myself, i see this as a guideline for myself
and i will try to do some modification according to what had been plan

wish me all the best

summary

so so so sorry, thousand apologies.... to Dato Seri Alex Chew
i am totally forget about this project. the ALS for TUOG....
Sorry for the delay in submitting of Summary of TUOG.

I am not able to practice the module with Binn, Melinda and Pris for Rama children... but i am continuing to do session with the 3 little children from Rama. consistently, there is 6 session had made. not all according to what been planned.

with the TUOG, i am able to relearn again and considering the viability for using groups to achieve specific therapeutic intentions· Pre-screening is very important. as the pre-screening will able to recognize who is the main client that i am going to work. the specialization of the issues, the variability such as group size, gender, how many session, age , education level...etc
there is a lot of things have to take in to count.

With the working with my ALS members
i am glad that we can worked out the planning, prepared and evaluate the group sessions. i am sorry for not able to contribute mine, but i am proud of what had been achieve by my ALS members. overall, the setting of group aim, and running the group out is much more challenge than paper work. they manage to do it.

I think, i will still need more reflecting and evaluating on my own practice as therapeutic group work facilitators· i am planning to write a small proposal for my management to propose that i am going to run a group work in relevant institution home at Kepala Batas. hopefully i am able to utilise "creative" groupwork methods for effective group facilitation, especially children with special care.

i learn that being patient is important. as there will be some client who is selective mute, agrreive, or un-coooperative. how to make the group growth and work through the barrier is the main objective. using round to build up the trust and improve the energy level of group is essential.

finally, i would like to thanks Alex for your guide on my personal group work, especially those comment. it does help a lot.
i would like to convey my appreciation and acknoledgement for my ALS mambers
Phaik Nee, Cheng, melinda, Seok Binn, and Pris
