“…Skilled practitioners use group work to break silence on taboo subjects, adapt to various learning styles, and allow the presence of witnesses (Drumm, 2006); that is, group members who wrestle through difficulty and promote growth alongside one another.…”

Running head: PUTTING THE PIECES BACK TOGETHER Putting the Pieces Back Together: A Group Intervention for SexuallyExploited Adolescent Girls KRISTINE E. HICKLE and DOMINIQUE E. ROE-SEPOWITZ Arizona State University, School of Social Work, Phoenix, AZ, USA Domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) is an emerging problem affecting adolescents, families, and communities throughout the United States. Despite a growing awareness of the problem, information regarding treatment is limited. This paper describes a pilot group intervention created for use with DMST victims, focusing specifically on areas that were critical to the development and life of the group: 1) providing education about DMST, 2) reducing shame and addressing stigma, 3) mutual aid, and 4) managing strong emotions through the development of new coping skills. Process examples are given to illustrate this pilot intervention, and recommendations for research and practice are discussed.

“…Ample attention in the group therapy literature has addressed the various stages of development groups tend to travel over time. Therapists aim to support members ease during the beginning of the group and encourage group members to air conflict and explore issues to resolve problems during the middle stage (Drumm, 2006). During the final phase of a group, the therapists facilitate members consolidating their learning and developing strategies for transferring what they learned in the group to daily life .…”

The needs of refugees are of crucial concern internationally. Relational trauma is an area that is particularly under-emphasised and under-researched. The Strength to Strength program (STS) was a relationship and family counselling service for recently arrived refugees in Sydney, Australia. The service model built on post-Milan systemic family therapy principles to include cultural and trauma-informed aspects of care. This study explored the design and impact of the program, through qualitative accounts provided by service users. This paper focuses on the experiences of staff of the program, and the ways in which more traditional, Western-informed modes of family therapy were transformed by refugee client needs. The specific study aim was to identify and describe transformations to the delivery of relationship and family counselling with refugees that enabled care, from the perspective of STS staff. A thematic analysis of interviews with STS service staff (bicultural workers, family therapists, managers; n = 10) was undertaken, guided by an interpretive description framework. Findings revealed that acceptable and useful clinical innovations to standard care included the use of community groups, the unique role of the bicultural worker, and increased reliance on more directive and practical modes of family therapy rather than insight-oriented post-Milan techniques. The role of community-based intervention to enrich existing Western-informed models of care for use with refugees was vital. STS was an example of staff-driven innovation to the therapeutic care of refugee families resettling in a Western country and took into account their unique and complex set of cultural, practical, and psychological client needs. Future service delivery is best guided by the incorporation of multi-faceted approaches to care that allow for phasing of treatment in line with client culture, needs, and readiness.
