Ode to Group Treatment

By Susan Boykin, ACSW, LISW-CP

Social workers do groups

We like to rally the troops

Genuine, authentic and caring

It is all about the sharing

Groups are powerful and healing

Members openly discuss their feelings

Trust is provided, kindness and caring

Remember to check to see how all are faring

When all is said and done

Everyone has become one....
