Interventions at the Different Stages of a Group

      Consider ways you might work with the following statements a group member might make at the initial stage, transition stage, and working stage. You may even show a possible intervention for each stage if you would like. However, make sure you at least speak to how you would address the statement if it was made at EACH of the 3 stages.
