Psycho-Educational Group

Paper Summary:

In this article the writer discusses the the creation and management of a psycho-educational group for sexual assault in the workplace. The writer explains that such a group's purpose would be to serve the employees' needs concerning sexual assault prevention and treatment. The writer notes that perhaps the most important function this group can serve is to change attitudes and to help create an education program to help other employees, especially in prevention of sexual assault. Further, the writer points out that educating people to teach their children well is a worthwhile goal for the group, and the potential for assault can be lowered within the employees and their families.

From the Paper:

"Recruiting group members is not terribly difficult these days, but screening the selection might be problematic. One needs to take care not to turn away potentially useful members, nor to injure feelings in the process. It should never be made public who applied and who was not chosen. For this reason, an initial screening with a survey which all employees fill out using numbers instead of names would probably be the most useful initial recruitment tool. The surveys could be labeled confidential and distributed in such a way that the counselor would know who each one is, but nobody is ever told they can be identified by the counselor. They will probably assume they are totally anonymous."
