Group work in a primary care medical setting.
A group work program was developed for low-income, minority patients of a primary care medical setting who were misusing medical resources to work on psychosocial issues. Multiple groups were established using an action-oriented approach to enhance patients' ability to cope with health, mental health, and environmental problems. The program was demonstrated to be beneficial for the participants and the primary care clinic.
