change, and adjustment.  The intention is that attendees will enhance their knowledge about the topic by learning about their particular condition, such as depression, and reducing symptoms.  The format in this type of group is lecture.

 

Psychoeducational Groups:

Psychoeducational groups have the same purpose and goals as educational groups.  However, in this setting, the format is interactive.  Although people are asked not to speak specifically about their personal lives and situations, general discussion and questions are encouraged.

 

Here are some educational and psychoeducational groups I have designed and presented over the years:

 

• Showcasing the Treasures of Older Adult Wisdom in Storytelling

• Critical Incident / Trauma / Grief, Loss, and Bereavement groups

• Weight Loss Readiness

• Relaxation for Better Health
