YS 603 - Group Work with Youth (3 Credits)

Prerequisite/Co-Requiste: YS 600  and YS 610    
This course introduces students to social group work (a core methodology of the social work profession) as a practice model for promoting youth development. Students gain an understanding of the stages of group development as an overarching framework and learn basic group theory and skills needed for group work with children and adolescents in a variety of social, educational, and recreational settings. They explore key concepts such as planning, purposeful use of activity, norms, mutual aid, shared decision-making, group roles, problem-solving, and managing group conflict. Students apply the central theories and practice principles of social group work as they develop basic skills in ethical and effective intervention and evaluation of their group work practice with youth.
