You have been tasked to design a counseling group from start to finish. To start this task, select one of the following group types.

 

Children of divorce

Children of addicts

Adult Survivors of abuse (could be sexual or physical)

Treatment for adults who are addicts

Grief recovery

Teens struggling with gender dysphoria (sexual identity)

Teen support group (parents who are addicts)

Relationship building (homosexual and heterosexual – there does not have to be a division because a group is a group)

Domestic violence group for nonoffenders

Parenting group

Now that you have selected a group type, you need to consider the other details of your group as well to include how new members will be selected. When determining which new members to add, it is suggested you follow a screening process to ensure they are a good fit for the group.

 

Create a 12-15-slide presentation about your group that includes the following:

 

Group type

Why you chose this type of group

Population serving including cultural considerations

Number of sessions

Number of participants

Goals of the counseling group

Theoretical approach(es) to be used in the group and ethical considerations

A set of screening questions that you, as the group leader, will use to choose the members of the group. Begin with demographic questions (name, age, address, presenting issue, etc.) There should be a minimum of 10 screening questions, not including the demographics questions.

Speaker notes on each slide that would represent what you would say if giving this presentation in person.

Use a minimum of three scholarly references in addition to the course textbook to support the findings.

Title slide and reference slide are not included in the slide count. Please ensure the speaker notes are thorough and include 50-75 words for each content-related slide.
