3. Case Scenario
A group counselor is hired to facilitate a short-term group at a local agency that is having trouble with morale and work-related relationships. During the pre-group interviews, one African American worker (Jane) and one Latino worker (Manuel) express their concern that the other workers and the supervisor, who are White, routinely leave them out of conversations, social gatherings, and important work opportunities. The group facilitator appreciates the information and decides that this pattern represents an issue of problematic communication and connection. Out of this conceptualization, the group leader never addresses the possible impact of race in this matter but instead works with the group to improve their level of interpersonal interaction and belonging (i.e., making sure everyone gets a turn to process and share in the group). Therefore, Jane and Manuel never voice their concern about how they are treated and instead “play along” with the communication exercises. As a result, the underlying issue remains. They may even feel further confused or hurt because their issue was ignored.
A. What cultural considerations should the group leader take into account?
B. In what ways does this impact the group process and outcomes?
C. As the group leader what would you do differently?
