For professionals
with a heavy caseload, time is a factor. The concept of sitting down
with the girls and getting to know them sounds wonderful. The reality
of the situation is there simply isn't always enough time. There are
ways to get to know them as well as establish relationships without
working overtime five days a week. If it is possible, and it will take
extra effort, form a girls group. These groups provide an excellent
environment to get to know the girls and also give the girls a chance
to see the professionals as human beings. person. It will provide the
perfect opportunity to model appropriate behaviors, discuss relevant
issues, and assess what's going on in their world in a non threatening,
comfortable environment. The groups can be for emotional support, educational,
or whatever seen as needed with the girls.
