Which type of group counseling focuses on helping members learn new information and skills?

• A. Growth Groups
• B. Educational Groups
• C. Therapy Groups
• D. Socialization Groups

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is about groups that teach, not just talk or reflect. An educational group is designed to provide information and build new skills through a structured curriculum, with instructions, demonstrations, and practice activities. Participants come away with specific knowledge and abilities, such as coping strategies, communication techniques, or parenting skills.

This differs from other group types: growth groups focus on personal development and self-understanding; therapy groups aim to reduce symptoms and work through psychological issues; socialization groups concentrate on practicing interpersonal skills in a social context. So the type described is educational groups.
