Before, during, and after another group session, you notice the following. Which of them are concerning? Why?
Top of Form
Outside, you see Brea and Valeria smoking what looks like a joint before coming in.
Concerning
Brea and Valeria sit next to each other, edging their chairs close together. When others are sharing, they often elbow each other and whisper comments.
Concerning
At one point, Kaz interrupts Valeria and Brea’s chatter and tells them to “Shut up, lesbos.”
Concerning
You overhear Jade tell Maricela that she saw Brea and Valeria at party last weekend, and they were “more than just friends if you know what I mean. I’m pretty sure they hooked up.”
Concerning
You talk with Scott about your concerns regarding Valeria and Brea’s behavior as well as what Kaz said. He asks you how you would address it. He reminds you that in SFBT group, leaders have the tasks of setting limits, establishing group rules, informing members of their rights and responsibilities, and protecting members. In particular, he notes that as the leader, he disavows the role of expert, preferring a more collaborative stance.

Directions
You are attending some more of the SFBT sessions Links to an external site.; select “Which Track are They On?” and “Concerning Behavior” in the calendar. After you complete the sessions, return here to participate in the discussion.
If you were the group leader, how would you address the co-mingling and bigotry? Will you address Brea and Valeria separately, together, or within the group? Will you talk to Kaz by himself? Create a 3- to 8-minute video addressing the individuals and/or the group. (Do not include slides; you do not have a projector available at the meeting space.)
In addition, explain in text why you chose to address the individuals and/or the group.
