Which of the following is NOT described as a role of the group counselor in facilitating a session?

• A. Maintain healthy and productive group dynamics.
• B. Attending to group as a whole and individual members.
• C. Be sensitive to level of participation.
• D. Avoid consultations.

Answer: (D)

In group counseling, the facilitator aims to keep the group climate healthy and productive, while attending to both the group as a whole and to individual members. They also monitor and respond to how much and which members participate, so everyone has a chance to engage. Regular consultation with a supervisor or colleagues is a normal, important part of ethical practice, helping the counselor handle difficult dynamics or ethical questions. Because of that, the notion of avoiding consultations doesn’t describe a standard role of the group counselor.
