Abstract

Psychiatric nurses of all grades can benefit from developing group facilitation skills. There are a variety of situations in which such skills are called for: in running ward meetings; in organising discussion groups and in facilitating therapy groups. In order to gain such skills, those nurses require a theoretical knowledge base and practical experience. Such experience can be gained through the use of structured experiential exercises. This article outlines one approach to organising a workshop for the development of facilitation skills. It covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of such a workshop and may be adapted for use in a variety of settings in both basic and continuing nurse education.
