A) with a small discussion group.
B) as a co-leader in a therapy group.
C) with a large,personal growth group.
D) with a group of children with serious counseling concerns.

Accepted Answer

Starting with a small discussion group allows the beginning group leader to gain experience and confidence before moving on to larger and potentially more challenging groups.
