[Day 340] FAMILY ISSUES GROUP THERAPY MINGLE
[Welcome to the Family Issues group therapy located in a room at the education center. There are tables, chairs, prompts and various supplies along with food and beverages and a bot to keep an eye on things. Enjoy!]
Photos There are family member photos everywhere. Make sure to use them to prompt conversations.
Roleplaying exercise There is a hand out that explains roleplaying each other's key relatives including: — Tell the person how you feel and what you needed from them. — Express frustration/anger with the foam bats provided. — Hug it out.
Game There's a poster with the following instructions. Word associations: start with a word that makes you think of family and then go back and forth with a partner, occasionally stopping to discuss what the words represent.
Card prompts There's a basket of cards to get conversations started. — What do you think of when you think of family? — Who are you closest to in your family and why do you think that is? — Who are you most distant or confrontational with in your family and why do you think that is? — Have you lost a family member? What happened? — What is your earliest memory? — What was your childhood like? — What sort of stressors were there in the family? (Separation, divorce, moving, loss of job, births, deaths, abuse) — And many more...
(OOC: Don't let these prompts limit you. Be creative, if you want a different kind of prompt or activity then run with it! It's fine if your ideas require additional supplies too. This is everyone's post. Mingle! INFO)
