Planning psychoeducational groups for older adults.
Psychoeducational group work, with its focus on education and psychological growth, is a versatile and effective method of teaching older adults new skills and behaviors. Planning a psychoeducational group should be systematic and well thought out. Each session outline should include objectives, information to be imparted, life-skill experiential activities, and process questions to make the connection between the information and the experience.
