In this issue the Editorial Board is proud to publish papers by student groupworkers. They include the winner and 4 runners up of the 2016 Groupwork Student Essay Competition.. As editor of Groupwork it should be no surprise that I strongly believe groupwork has much to offer all aspects of life and work. Many years of working with groups of young people as a youth worker, with community members as a community worker and with groups of older people and carers as a social worker, all re-enforced my understanding that groupwork is a powerful method and an indispensible item in the toolkit of community, youth and health and social care workers of all disciplines.References
