You are a social worker in a residential treatment facility for adolescent girls who have been placed there because of behavioral problems. In many cases, parents were unable to deal with their daughter's behavior and chose to have them get treatment in a residential facility.

You have been running a weekly therapy group with eight of the girls for 10 weeks. You have been working in the "here and now" and the group has been very successful in dealing with interpersonal dynamics.

The director of the agency is really pleased with your progress and asks you to do a short term (6 weeks) group with the girls and their mothers. You have two weeks to prepare for the joint group.

1. What are your goals for the mother-daughter group?
2. What are the possible conflicts that may arise?
3. How will you establish a feeling of safety in the group?
4. How will you continue to support the girls but still support the mothers?
5. What would be a good "icebreaker" exercise to do with this joint group? Why did you choose this one? What are you trying to achieve?
