The LGBTQ Responsive Model for Supervision of Group Work

Abstract

Although supervision of group work has been linked to the development of multicultural and social justice competencies, there are no models for supervision of group work specifically designed to address the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) persons. This manuscript presents the LGBTQ Responsive Model for Supervision of Group Work (RMSGW), offering a trans-theoretical framework through which group leaders and supervisors can plan and implement group interventions. Application of the LGBTQ RMSGW is described, with implications for practice and future research discussed.
