Robin Makes the Rounds

At the ending of a group, Robin wanted to make sure everyone had a say about the way the psychoeducational group had gone. Although it was unusual, she decided to let each person present say a sentence or two about what they had learned in the group. To her surprise, the process went well, and as one member put it toward the end of the round, “Everyone has reminded me of important points I do not want to forget.”
