    GROUP WORK PROPOSAL

    ABSTRACT
    Group work according to Toseland and Rivas (2014:11) is a goal directed activity
    with smalls group, aimed at meeting socio-emotional needs and accomplishing
    tasks, of which the activity is directed to individual members of the group and the
    group as a whole. Groups are classified into different categories where the
    facilitator and the members of the group work together. For achieving the goal of
    the group, this will be referred to as task group because the aim is to accomplish
    a certain goal. In a group setting, different group members get to share feelings
    and exchange ideas for the effectiveness of the group with the help of a
    facilitator, as this is discussed by Weyers (2011:35) that facilitators uses small
    group dynamics and resources in order to assist members to achieve individual
    and shared goals.

    PURPOSE AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT INFORMING THE


    PROPOSED GROUP AND ITS PURPOSE
    According to Toseland and Rivas (2014:165) it is very important for a facilitator to
    first and foremost propose what the group’s purpose is. By doing this the facilitator
    will prevent a lack of direction which might frustrate the group members, when there
    is no clear direction within the group it may lead to an unproductive group experience
    for the group members and the facilitator. The facilitator has chosen support and
    growth groups and therefore the purpose of group work series with the women of
    Beth-Shan shelter is to empower them to be the women they truly want to be and to
    encourage them to stand up for themselves when they realise that they are in an
    abusive relationship.

    THE COMPOSITION OF THE GROUP


    Composing a group according to Toseland and Rivas( 2014:174), the facilitator
    should choose members according to their needs and the needs of the whole group.

    The group will comprise of women in the shelter and will be the ages between 27 to
    45.

    The facilitator choose homogeneity, homogeneity indicate that group members


    should have a common purpose for belonging to the group and that they must also
    have similar charecteristics.

    ORIENTATION OF GROUP MEMBERS


    With orientation of the members in the group series Toseland and Rivas(2014:181)
    mention that the group facilitator should screen the members for appropriateness
    within the group and orientate them about the group sessions will be conducted. The
    Primary method of orientation is an intake interview with each group member
    individually.

    The facilitator will use orientation in the pre session with her group members to
    achieve three goals set by Toseland and Rivas which are

     To explain the purpose of the group: the facilitator will state the group’s
    purpose in the beginning of the pre-session and ask the members if they
    agree with the purpose and give them an opportunity to ask any question
    regarding what was expected from e group during the group work series.

     To familiarize the members with the group procedures: The facilitator will
    explain the outline of the group work series to her group members including
    the number of sessions they will have and her report writing on each session.

     To screen the members for appropriateness: The facilitator has to screen the
    members during the pre-session to establish whether the group is suitable for
    their needs and whether their needs match the group purpose.

    THE AGENCY UNDER WHOSE AUSPICES/SUPPORT MY PLAN TO


    RUN THE GROUP

    cycle and are unable to break it because perpetrators change for a while and the
    abuse starts again meaning the victims are in a trap. Members who broke the cycle
    of abuse by coming out and spoke about it will be in the group.

    RECRUITMENT
