16th European Groupwork Symposium
York, 8th-10th September 2010
‘Groupwork and Well-Being’
Recent years have seen the emergence in human services of ‘Positive Psychology’, and other approaches to ‘Well-Being’.
Groupwork has a key role to play here. So, this symposium will show how groupwork is contributing to well‑being initiatives, ranging from work with schoolchildren, to DIY Happiness work with adults in the community.
The event will interest any professional working in health, social work or education, whether a social worker, a psychologist or a counsellor.
