Mental Health Counselling-Psychoeducational Groups and Substance Abuse

Mental Health Counselling-Psychoeducational Groups and Substance Abuse

In no more than 3 pages and no less than 3 pages, double spaced, APA style, provide a description of a psychoeducational group (not a therapy group, not a support group) on a topic of your choice. Don’t go online and copy something you find. Use some sources, especially your textbook, and don’t forget to cite and source! Include the following information about your program:

1. The title of your program.

2. A brief outline of your program.

3. Technical issues related to your group (ie: open or closed; frequency of meetings; length of meetings; expected duration of the group; meeting place etc.)

4. Number of participants.

5. Ground rules and ethical concerns.

6. How you would handle closure of the group.

7. Any follow-up you might do.

(these are the instructions provided by the professor. Also, make sure each paragraph is detailed, at least 5 sentences a paragraph)

The topic I am choosing is substance abuse. Again, you are making up your own program to answer these questions, but a little research needs to be added as well.

I will provide the page from the book that discusses psychoeducational groups; this can be one source.
