The final project for the Group Facilitation course will require you to review a group (an existent group or the literature on general process groups) in-depth. The assignment will require that you locate 8-10 scholarly sources, reviewing the research on the efficacy of this group. The paper should be 6-8 pages in length (not including a needed title page, abstract, and reference page). The paper should be completed in APA style (6th edition).
Topics to be covered in the paper include the following:(((Please help to create the reasonable/practical content —-Thank you so much)))))
1. Introduction
2. Description of your group (review your group in depth – who is invited to attend the group (inclusion/exclusion criteria)? What is the typical length of group treatment? What do sessions traditionally look like?)
3. Current efficacy findings (what does the research tell us about the effectiveness of the group or groups within this category?)
4. Needed areas for growth and development (based on how this group has been functioning, what are the needed areas of outreach and growth in this area.
5. Conclusion
