Topic 1 DQ 1:
Assessment Description
Define the term "group" used in the behavioral health field and provide an
example of a group in your life. Explain what makes this group align with
your definition.
Groups in my opinion are a real lifesaver. They could either be a blessing or a
curse. Groups, to me, are having people that you can count on and knowing that
everything shared is within the group. In behavioral therapy, groups are defined
in behavioral health as "two or more individuals who are connected by and
within social relationships" (Forsyth, 2019) To me, this means people who have
a common interest and are wanting to share and feel safe with one another.

Topic 1 DQ 2:
Assessment Description
Provide examples of what attitudes and beliefs could shape group
involvement in the behavioral health field.
When it comes to attitudes impact a group either in a positive or negative way. I
have personally dealt with a group; it was called a coping group. Our beliefs and
attitude were an open conversation, and we were trustworthy with one another. If
it was a negative space, we wouldn’t have the bond that we have outside of
group.
We still till this day have a good group because of our behavior and attitude.
