Guidelines for group discussions:
• Tailor the discussion to the shared needs and concerns of the group. • Focus the discussion on problem solving and applying coping
strategies to immediate issues. • Allow only one person at a time to speak. • Answer questions honestly, but limit the information to what the
students and staff can handle and tolerate. • Do not let discussions about concerns lapse into complaints. • Redirect the discussion if it turns to descriptions of gruesome or
disturbing details of the emergency. If an answer might be upsetting, tell the individual that at this time the information would not be helpful to everyone, but that you can discuss it privately later.
• If an individual needs further support, offer to meet with him/her after the group discussion.
