“We may not like it but we guess we have to do it:” Bringing Agency-Based Staff on Board with Evidence-Based Group Work

Abstract

In this article the authors describe our experience of developing a manualized model of group treatment for early adolescents with learning disabilities. We review the process of developing and piloting the manual as part of a school-based intervention research project, and the process and complexities in using this model in a community agency with a long history of conducting groups. The authors provide the leaders' feedback on their experience of co-leading a manualized group approach. They conclude with practice principles and recommendations based on the staff's feedback, with respect to bringing agency-based workers on board with an evidence-based approach to group work practice.
