Child/adolescent group counseling brochure

Assignment Requirements:

Each student will develop an 8-week psycho-educational group for working with a particular issue that children or adolescents face. Some suggested topics include:

• Grief and loss
• Self-Esteem
• Social Skills
• Divorce
• Online/Social Media Safety
• Safe dating for teens
• Stress
• Anxiety

You will create a 2-sided brochure or flyer advertising the group. The brochure should address the “who, what, when where, and why” of the group. Be sure to include the following: an introduction which describes the theme and purpose of the group; the significance of group attendance (i.e., what would attendees have to gain from the group?); the screening criteria (e.g., age range, gender, etc.); when and where the group will meet; and your qualifications to lead the group (this can include your future aspirations for qualifications). Make sure that the theme for the group and the corresponding weekly topics and activities are developmentally appropriate for the age range you have selected.

The brochure must include eight weekly topics to be covered and corresponding activities to address each of the weekly topics. Be sure to include plenty of detail about the weekly activities so your reader will know exactly how you plan to carry out the activities. This will be more detail than would typically be included if you were to advertise a group in the “real world;” however, the detail is necessary for the purposes of this assignment.

Feel free to include graphics and pictures to make your brochure or flyer attractive to potential participants. Make sure that the information and layout is organized.

The idea for this assignment is that you are gathering resources and ideas for the group and making them your own; however, do not intentionally plagiarize. A reference page is not necessary for this assignment unless you rely heavily on one person’s work (e.g., activities from a specific DBT workbook).

try to use this source to be able to do the brochure accordingly..
