This qualitative study of majority female-identified, Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) students in both Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work programs evaluated the experiences of student learning. Students facilitated groups, were tasked to observe, and evaluate their peers’ facilitation skills. Data were collected from observational feedback forms, and thematic analysis was used. The study’s results indicate that group courses were effective in students’ learning and understanding the power of group process, cohesion, inclusion, and facilitation skills. These skills included helping the group stay on track, providing feedback, and the use of confrontation, when necessary. In addition, the experiential groups had several unanticipated learning outcomes: a) students learned the importance of diversity and inclusion in groups, b) interventions have different outcomes for group members and c) the power of silence in group process skills.KEYWORDS: Group therapyexperiential learningmezzo social work practice Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":39702,"journal":{"name":"Social Work with Groups","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135634775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is like a vicious cycle: once a household is caught, it will remain in the trap until and unless it competently manages its finances. These problems experienced by households have drawn attention to social capital. Self-help groups (SHGs) originated in India to pull out low-income households from poverty and are now recognized as social capital, which can be defined as the action of a group cooperating to enhance all its members’ benefits. This article aims to explain how SHGs have contributed to reducing various factors or determinants of household financial vulnerability through a review of several other publications, theses, newspaper articles, and reports. It was discovered that SHGs now provide much more benefits than just alleviating poverty. They have helped to reduce bad loans or non-performing assets, reduced the dependence on informal sources of finance, made households more resilient toward crises such as COVID-19, and enabled households to save money and manage their finances accurately. Organizing themselves into SHGs is the only way for rural households to overcome financial difficulties.","PeriodicalId":39702,"journal":{"name":"Social Work with Groups","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135827297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
