Therapy Group Worksheets

A therapy group worksheet is used every time you lead a group therapy session with around 5 to 15 participants. They can be used throughout the whole session as a place for clients to jot down any thoughts they may have, as well as a place to establish group rules, and partake in exercises that may require pen and paper. It is up to you whether they are used to guide the session, or as a more complementary aspect.

Therapy group worksheets are completed by the clients partaking in the group therapy session. Each client should have their own worksheet, and should not read each other's workings unless they have permission. This is because group therapy worksheets contain highly sensitive information that many wish to hold privately. As the group therapy leader, you do not need to write group therapy worksheets.

Group therapy and family therapy worksheets are similar in that they are distributed to all members of the group, and provide a place for members to jot down any thoughts, feelings, and questions they may have. However, group therapy worksheets are more general and can be adapted to focus on specific topics at hand, such as depression, substance abuse et cetera. This differs immensely from family therapy worksheets which may involve specific instructions for particular family members. Group therapy worksheets also may involve more reflections on life at home and relationships with specific people.
