This online discussion with practitioner will explore how specialist adolescent violence in the home (AVITH) programs utilise groupwork when working with young people and their families to achieve positive outcomes.

Groupwork is a form of intervention which places individuals with a similar set of circumstances into a group, which is then facilitated by a trained practitioner, and offers benefits such as opportunities for peer learning, social skill development, and peer support. 

This type of intervention is used to help individuals work through and cope with complex issues through group experiences. Group work can be carried out in a diverse range of settings for a wide variety of purposes, using different theoretical and conceptual tools and frameworks to inform the process and the outcome.
