Answer to Question 1

Counselors new to leading groups should seek opportunities to work with a diverse range of individuals in one-on-one counseling sessions in order to become more comfortable with culture and diversity in groups. In addition, new counselors should lead smaller education, discussion, support, or task groups until they are more comfortable. The beginning leader should also become more knowledgeable about the topic of the group they are leading, counseling theory, conflicts and dilemmas, and how to plan and organize group sessions in order to become more effective.
