Group therapy programs.

I am wondering if anyone has info on the existence of any curriculum for group therapy focused on addressing trauma, specifically for individuals with high ACE scores. I currently work with a large group of recently incarcerated individuals, and the average ACE score with this group is 7. My goal is to develop an "out-patient" program to basically help cover a lot of what I do in individual therapy with this population, much of which is based in an educational approach (helping others become their own experts), and I am hoping not to reinvent the wheel if I can avoid that.
Thanks!

Hi!

I'd encourage you taking a look at Mind Matters: Overcoming Adversity and Building Resilience. It's a psycho educational program, written by a clinician, and designed to be taught in groups or to individuals.

Mind Matters’ lessons teach people to heal from Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and other negative experiences with innovative methods based on current research and neuroscience. These skills give individuals a way to take charge of their emotions and improve their states of mind. Participants learn to address their physical, relational, and mental health needs.

Please let me know if you would like a complimentary online review copy.

Thanks for sharing this. I think all kind of therapy is helpful for those who are suffering from mental health issues. group therapy is also a good thing but some people feel shy about telling their issues in front of others. So for this, most therapists offer individual therapy who is in the favor of those kinds of people and helpful for them to recover from their issues.
