Designing a Counseling Group

Throughout this course, you will be designing a Counseling Group from start to finish. The assignment will be broken into four parts, which are due at different intervals in the course. For the three-part assignment, choose from the following group types (If you are in the addiction counseling program, select an addiction group):

1. Children of divorce
2. Children of addicts
3. Adult Survivors of abuse (could be sexual or physical)
4. Treatment for adults who are addicts
5. Grief recovery
6. Teens struggling with gender dysphoria (sexual identity)
7. Teen support group (parents who are addicts)
8. Relationship building (homosexual and heterosexual – there does not have to be a division because a group is a group)
9. Domestic violence group for nonoffenders
10. Parenting group

Identify what type of group you will design by selecting one of the group types listed above.

Write a 300-600-word summary of your selected group.

Be sure to include the following in your summary:

1. Group type
2. Why you chose this type of group
3. Population serving
4. Number of sessions
5. Number of participants
6. Goals of the counseling group
7. A minimum of two scholarly references, not including the course textbook
