Examples Of Intrapersonal Intervention

According to the textbook there are three ways to intervene with group members. The three ways are intrapersonal interventions, Interpersonal interventions and environmental interventions. Intrapersonal intervention focuses on cognition and the affects, interpersonal intervention focuses on relationships and environmental intervention focuses on seeking change. I might use intrapersonal intervention to see if someone beliefs affect the decision that was or will be made. Which is very important because a persons belief system can have impact on the ay that they think. That is one reason why in social work that social workers have to be mindful about their own personal beliefs having a impact on their practice. An example would be if a person

who was apart of the LGBT community went to seek treatment and the social worker thought that being part of a LGBT community was wrong and displayed hat in her practice. That is clearly discminatio which is not allowed din social work. I would use interpersonal intervention when I want to create a relationship within group or outside the group. I can use environmental intervention to network in order to make the group better. Some specific skill that could be used is active listening, reframing structuring and many more. I believe that if I were a group leader I would be using the environmental intervention the most. Environmental interventions include connecting members to concrete resources, expanding members’ social networks, modifying the contingencies that result when members perform desired behaviors, and planning physical environments to facilitate members’ goal achievement (Toseland & Rivas, 2012). The reason that I think that I would be using environmental intervention the most is because I think that networking is essential to a group’s growth.
