Assignment 2: Personal Journal Entry 3
A large part of being a social worker is being able to see the strengths in any situation. This characteristic can be described as having a “half full” view on life. As a clinical social worker, it is important to cultivate strength-based skills.
By now, your group should have developed a plan in completing the Group Wiki Project. In your Journal, reflect on your group’s process in establishing the group purpose (Address Opioid Epidemic), establishing the group structure (effectiveness of communication), and contracting assignments.
Describe what you view to be the strengths and weaknesses of your group. What strategies can you implement to assist the group process? Implement one of these strategies, and be prepared to reflect on your experience in Week 9.
Submit your Journal Entry (2 pages).
