units, emergency departments, general practices, and community health services.
Referring to evidence-based literature,and the selected consumer group or their families/carers,

providing education for the selected consumer or family group, therapeutic communication
techniques nurses require to provide effective group education, application of these findngs to your
own nursing practice development.
