Developing a new treatment group often takes formal and extensive planning, including a written proposal to the sponsoring agency

Why does the agency and surrounding community need the group?

Developing a new treatment group often takes formal and extensive planning, including a written proposal to the sponsoring agency. This proposal should answer the basic questions of Why? Who? How? Why does the agency and surrounding community need the group? Who will the group be serving, and who will lead it? And how will the group be formed and run?

For this Assignment, you engage with a client who is experiencing addiction or sexual assault trauma. You then begin to draft a proposal for a treatment group in order to support that client and similar clients. Over the next several weeks, you will write further sections of the proposal and then bring them all together in Week 10 for your Final Project.

  • Review the Learning Resources on planning groups.
  • Navigate through the Addiction and Sexual Assault media pieces in which you engage with a client. Select one client on which to focus the development of a new treatment group.
  • Consider the unique circumstances and needs of the client in the media—and others in similar situations in your community who may benefit from a treatment group.
  • Review the literature on the client issue you chose (addiction or sexual assault trauma) to develop your statement of need for the group.
