Editorial review: Pending manual editorial sign off ## Before you begin - [ ] I read the tutorial authority and stop conditions. - [ ] I have the required equipment/space or a declared accessible alternative. ## Canonical source context This lesson teaches a facilitated group recovery process: check safety and consent, define the shared task, offer several regulation modes, lower unnecessary stimulation, listen and summarise, protect individual exits, monitor burden and close with action. The facilitator does not control anyone’s mood. Target outcome: In a qualified simulation, a group uses a chosen ten-minute recovery plan, each member keeps an opt-out, and the facilitator records recipient-defined distress, conflict, function and burden separately. ### Authority and setup conditions - Prepare a qualified facilitated group recovery simulation after a fictional low-intensity shared disruption - Before the first collective emotional regulation attempt, write the exact result you will score: Recipient-chosen distress, recovery, conflict and burden under a declared support configuration. - The facilitator screens for active danger, abuse, severe distress, trauma triggers, power imbalance and whether a group format is appropriate. - Each member may remain silent, leave, use another mode or request individual support without penalty. ### Required or supplied materials - a qualified facilitated group recovery process. - Facilitator-approved scenario, consent/opt-out cards, room plan, accessible communication options and support contacts. - Member-level before/after sheet for distress, conflict, readiness, chosen support, burden and unwanted effects. ## 1. Screen safety before gathering The facilitator checks whether any member needs separation, urgent help, individual support or a different process. Do not gather people who cannot speak freely. Why: Group regulation is inappropriate when danger or coercion is active. Success check: Every member has a safe participation or non-participation route. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “Every member has a safe participation or non-participation route.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 2. State the shared practical goal Name a bounded goal such as “decide how to restart the meeting,” not “make everyone calm.” Why: A functional shared goal respects different emotional states. Success check: The goal can be met without requiring a particular feeling or expression. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “The goal can be met without requiring a particular feeling or expression.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 3. Offer several regulation modes Offer quiet, movement, written reflection, listening, sensory reduction or individual break. Ask each person to choose or decline. Why: Different people regulate differently; one imposed method can add burden. Success check: Every member has a chosen option and none is mandatory. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “Every member has a chosen option and none is mandatory.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 4. Reduce unnecessary stimulation Lower noise, crowding, pace and simultaneous talking as agreed. Preserve lighting, movement and sensory needs individually. Why: Environmental load can amplify conflict without being an internal emotion failure. Success check: The group can hear/access one speaker or chosen quiet space without trapping anyone. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “The group can hear/access one speaker or chosen quiet space without trapping anyone.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 5. Use one-speaker listening Invite one person at a time to state the immediate need or concern, with a pass option. The facilitator summarises and checks accuracy. Why: Structured listening can reduce cross-talk while preserving voice. Success check: Each offered contribution is reflected accurately or corrected by the speaker. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “Each offered contribution is reflected accurately or corrected by the speaker.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 6. Name common and different needs List shared needs and differences without forcing consensus. Keep responsibility for harm attached to the person or system involved. Why: Collective recovery does not erase conflict, accountability or minority needs. Success check: The board shows both overlap and unresolved difference. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “The board shows both overlap and unresolved difference.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 7. Choose one reversible next action The group selects a small action within authority, assigns an owner and review time, or decides to pause and escalate. Why: A concrete next step links regulation to function. Success check: The action is voluntary, reversible and does not require emotional conformity. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “The action is voluntary, reversible and does not require emotional conformity.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 8. Check each member and close Privately or accessibly record distress, readiness, conflict, burden and unwanted effects. Offer individual follow-up and end on time. Why: Group average calm can hide one person’s harm. Success check: Member-level outcomes remain visible and anyone needing support has a route. Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “Member-level outcomes remain visible and anyone needing support has a route.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt. Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## Reflection What changed? ________________________________________________________________________________ What remains difficult? ________________________________________________________________________________ What will I repeat, adapt, ask for help with, or stop? ________________________________________________________________________________ --- Completion of this worksheet demonstrates tutorial participation only.
