1 Initiating and contracting with the group Charlis Brown McKay Department of Social Work, Walden University SOCW 6121 Dr. Alex Casiano January 10, 2023

2 Initiating and contracting with the group Composition & Contract All survivors of sexual assault who are at least eighteen years old are welcome, regardless of gender, origin, or historical time. Each meeting can accommodate a maximum of 10–12 attendees. It is completely voluntary to join this group. The eight to twelve-week classes take place on Tuesdays from 5:00 pm to 6:30 (CST). People who are looking for support from others while they work through sexual trauma recovery and toward a new sense of wholeness are welcome to join the group. Among the group's goals are to: • Encourage members to share their experiences • Assist individuals in realizing that they are not alone and comprehend how this experience is now affecting their life. • Assist participants in starting to analyze thoughts and emotions related to the trauma Orientation When providing professional services, social workers are required to keep all information confidential, unless there are exceptional professional circumstances (NASW, 2021). Building trust and showing respect for the victim's demands are essential components in maintaining a survivor's confidentiality (Baird & Allagia, 2021). Groups that provide help to victims of sexual assault must always maintain confidentiality. To keep any material discussed in the group private, participants must sign a release that agrees to not reveal other members' identities, personal information, or any other facts. If group members happen to run into each other outside of the group, they will also be aware of the possible issues that could occur.

3 The services' goal and the clients' privacy must be disclosed to them (NASW, 2021). Participant sharing of personal belongings, active listening, and attention to other group members will be required to get consent. Talking is not a prerequisite for participation. Listening to other members' opinions can also be a part of it. Nothing that someone is not comfortable revealing will ever be imposed upon them (Toseland & Rivas, 2017). By signing an agreement during the session, this will be accomplished. During the first meeting, ground rules will be established. An agreement reached by all participants outlining expectations for communication both among themselves and between participants and the facilitators makes up the ground rules (Toseland & Rivas, 2017). It also takes the group's recommendations and viewpoints into account. When active in its creation, members are more likely to "buy into" the ground rules and be more responsible (Heard & Walsh, 2023). Once the ground rules have been defined, each member will sign a document indicating their acceptance to them. Again, this is how security, regularity, and boundaries are set (Toseland & Rivas, 2017). The ground rules will be reviewed by everyone in the group. Among the potential domains are  Confidentiality: Emphasize that a successful group process is built upon confidentiality. It will be discussed how a breach may affect the healing process of other group members.  Expectations and guidelines for attendance  Refusing to bring outsiders (friends, parents, or kids) to group meetings.  Drug and alcohol abuse and its repercussions, such as being asked to leave the group during the session if someone shows up inebriated.  Respectful and nonjudgmental communication/using technology.
