Summary
Prior to the group-meeting day, if possible, a group leader should contact the two group members who were identified in the previous session as candidates to tell their story. The purpose is to see if they need any help in preparing or are experiencing significant distress in anticipation of sharing their narrative. The group leader should make sure to contact group members who have worked on “impact-focused narratives” in order to productively share sensitive, graphic, or violent experiences. Additional support or restructuring of the planned narrative may be necessary.
If a candidate is unable to share his or her narrative for some reason, the alternate candidate should be chosen with the understanding that the first candidate can share his or her story in a later session. At the beginning of the group or just before, a group leader should again check in with the candidates. If there is any question about the readiness of the planned candidates, group leaders may identify alternate group members to share their narrative during the session.
