People are responsible for and to others. People have a right to belong, to be included. People have the right to take part and to be heard. People have the right to freedom of speech and expression. Differences among people are enriching.
People have a right to freedom of choice to determine their own destinies.
Adherence to these values provides a suitable environment for risk taking and growth to occur. Most recently I have witnessed it occur in a women's divorce group. Today, I have an opportunity as 1 teach Group Process and Practice to facilitate, tomorrow's facilitators answering their questions as I continue to ask and answer more of my own. Simply stated, as members or leaders of groups we have before us an opportunity to be active participants in the restoration or discovery of dignity and healing to the human spirit. That is very exciting.
