Social Work Practice With Families and Groups In drafting the schedule of events and the content, there was first an extensive and inclusive discussion session that saw the members of the program and the specialists in the field of psychology and guidance and counselling getting together for in-depth consultation. During the brainstorming session, there were several topics and content that were proposed, prioritized, discussed and then agreed upon for covered age during the 10 weeks session to help the children suffering from emotional problems after the death by suicide of their parents. Once the content and the sequence of the topics to be covered during the session were agreed upon, each member of the team that was to make a presentation and training in any of the ten weeks sessions was duly briefed and charged with doing extensive research on their areas as assigned.

The cultural diversity in the team has enabled the team to have a multiple talent base that enables it to handle the clients effectively, it has also allowed the clients to trust the team and have a positive view of the team and hence enrolling with an open mind with positive attitude towards getting the needed help once they are through the sessions (Cathryn L.C., 2008: Pp6-8).
