This document outlines the step-by-step process for setting up a group in an agency or community. It begins with determining if a group is needed through a needs assessment. If needed, the types of groups are identified and logistics like location and time are decided. A leader or co-leaders are selected and the group is promoted. Potential members are screened and norms are established when the group begins. The overall process aims to effectively plan and start a counseling or therapy group.
