The activity has participants identify six core values that shape their identity and select the value they would feel least comfortable training on. The discussion focuses on challenges with diversity training and fears about conducting it. The document also reviews literature on limited training for diversity facilitators and issues with current practices. It provides examples of tools and techniques for preparation, such as surveying audiences and co-facilitation, as well as potential pitfalls to avoid.

Grief counseling is a very broad topic. You will need to narrow bo.docxwhittemorelucilla
Grief counseling is a very broad topic. You will need to narrow both the population and the presenting problem a bit further when developing your group. For example, it will be important to think about the nature of the grief/loss you may focus on in your group (death of a spouse, child, extended family member, etc). Additionally, there are a lot of group plans out there that focus on grief and loss. It is important to develop your own plan and not simply copy one that is already in place.

● limit how you address your own experiences in order to leave from for your trainees to reflect on their
experiences in order to develop
● political correctness is overly stressed, preventing helpful dialogue
● when trainees are forced to express private feelings or are subject to uncomfortable or invasive physical and
psychological exercises
● individual styles of participants are not respected
● resource materials contain outdated views or information
● trainers are often chosen because they represent or are advocates for a specific group
● reverse discrimination may be ignored
● some trainings can encourage an “us” vs. “them” atmosphere
