Hello

I had the attached intro for a project about a proposal for a new Group Therapy focused on depression in early adulthood.But I need to do some changes because I received this feedback:

I had the opportunity to read your group proposal draft and you are in the right direction; however, your introduction needs a lot of work. Everything you wrote belongs to the second part of the paper. In the intro you need to present the risk factors associated with depression as well as stats about it, and how those risk factors impact their functioning. Also add your references APA style.

The introduction should focus on the risks factors associated with depression in my group.

• 1. Why is there a need for such a group?
• 2. What type of group are you forming?
• 3. For whom is the group intended? Identify the specific population. What do you know about the needs for this population?
• 4. Most importantly your rationale for this group needs or be clear and convincing, remember you might have to convince an audience about why there is a need for your group.
• 5. State your goals or what you expect to achieve?

Here you can see some ideas of what you should use on the writing.

Some of the risk factors could be substances abuse, dropping out school or job, isolation, negative relationships, suicide.

We will be working on self-esteem, copying skills, perception about the issues causing this depression.

Groups are the choice number one for therapy. Group is when others see they are not alone, not only from the therapist, but also from other participants of the group. They find support in interpersonal relationship with others, and help the members to see that they are not alone in depression. To work on skills to address conflicts they are experiencing. Also, they are important to address deeply the issues for what the clients are in sessions. Members can discover how they are perceived and experienced by others. Clients can experiment new ways of being. They will receive support for new behaviors and to be encouraged for experimentation, through modeling and homework each week.

We will be carrying out a Group psychotherapy, which aims at remediation of in-depth psychological problems (clients suffering major depression). Will participate 8 people, with similar cultural backgrounds. It will Last 12 weeks, and consists of weekly sessions.

Also highlight that We are a small group of people, who have in common that they are suffering this particular problem, and we can address this in a very short time.
