These are some basic questions for guiding group discussion when something tragic happens in the news:
Pick the event you will be discussing
1. What are your THOUGHTS about what happened?
- RULES this part: 1) Keep it brief so everyone has time to
share - 2) Keep it PERSONAL not POLITICAL
2. What are your FEELINGS about what happened?
- Use APPROPRIATE FEELING WORDS - Counselor may want to provide
feeling chart
3. When you are not in this group, if you need to process this
further: Where can you get more SUPPORT?
- Counselor may want to prepare some local resources
4. Even when troubling things happen in the news we need to keep
moving forward in our own lives. What skills will you use to COPE?
- It may be helpful at this point to transfer into a group
about COPING SKILLS
