Proposal, Psychoeducational Group Plan, and Class Training
This assignment involves three parts: a proposal to present a psychoeducational group, a psychoeducatinal group plan, and a training session for classmates. A psychoeducational group provides psychosocial and educational assistance to its group members. To complete this assignment, students are to select and research a higher education-based population of interest. This may be a population with whom you are presently working or with whom you are interested in working in the future.Possible populations include, but are not limited to, transfer students, entering first-year students, returning women, parents of entering first-year students, first-generation college students, student athletes, and students with disabilities. Write a proposal to offer a series of psychoeducational group sessions for your chosen population that you could present to a program director for consideration. In addition, provide a complete psychoeducational group plan as described below. Later in the semester, students will provide a training session to the class on the needs of the identified population and suggested methods for working with this population. Design the training as you would for the purposes of staff development with your classmates as colleagues or supervisees who you are training how to work with this population. This assignment should be completed in a professional style using APA format with the assumption that it may be used in the future and become part of a professional portfolio.
The proposal to your program director needs to be accompanied by a psychoeducational group plan that includes the following:
1. An introduction and description of the higher education-based population, along with the population's needs.
2. A literature review on the conditions, issue, or problem and higher education-based interventions. The lit review must be a minimum of 5 pages and use at least 10 articles from professional journals. Books may also be used but cannot substitute for journal articles.
3. A description of the pre-group and screening process to be used.
4. How to organize for environmental aspects, e.g. time, duration, structure, etc.
5. Goals, rules for members and how the group will be started.
6. A detailed description of primary concepts and skills that will be presented and taught.
7. The detailed session-by-session plan for a minimum of 4 sessions, including agendas, activities, and content to be delivered.
8. An evaluation plan for the group.
Each student needs to submit two copies of the proposal and the psychoeducational group plan, in APA format. Due dates are given in the Course Planner.
