Why is it important to conduct an evaluation at the end of a group counseling session? How can a nutrition counselor use results gleaned from the evaluations?

Evaluations are important to conduct at the end of a group counseling session to understand how the group facilitator performed and how the participants received the intervention. Outcomes that can be evaluated include the facilitator's ability to warmly greet clients and show empathy, ability to use questions effectively, ability to provide a clear summary at the end of the session, and if group members appeared interested and engaged in discussions. Results gleaned from evaluations can be used to improve group counseling sessions and facilitator skills.
