DRAFT: Please incorporate this into the narrative since I have not taken this course yet but still have to choose two artifacts demonstrating compentecy for this standard from two other courses I took.
While I have not taken the group counseling and group work class, I have chosen two specific artifacts that I believe effectively showcase my understanding of the standard 2.F.6 a-h associated with these areas. The first artifact is a paper I completed
Despite not having taken a dedicated course, these artifacts underscore my commitment to understanding and applying the principles of group counseling, showcasing my analytical skills, theoretical grasp, and practical competence in navigating group dynamics.I am looking forward to having a deeper understanding of Group Counseling and group work once I have completed the coursework requirements.
