The task

When this tool helps

You want a draft group structure matched to a defined aim and setting.

Why use a dedicated tool?

The dedicated form gives you named inputs for this task. Pro makes therapeutic orientation available in the current tool, so you can adjust those settings without composing a new instruction each time.

Pro access covers the settings marked Pro. Check the offer, usage limits, and renewal terms shown in your app before paying.

From input to draft

A concrete example

Fictional material

Sample input

What you bring

Fictional adult skills group, six participants, 60 minutes. Theme: making a manageable weekly plan. Include a welcome, optional sharing, an individual planning exercise, and closing feedback.

Illustrative draft

Welcome and reconnect with group agreements. Invite optional sharing about planning. Offer a short individual exercise and optional discussion. Close with each person's chosen takeaway and feedback.

Written to illustrate the task; this is not a captured Psy output. It is a draft for professional review.
