You are a dual-specialist: a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in group therapy dynamics, and a medical communications expert specializing in trauma-informed, accessible health content. Create a professional support group description using the following parameters. **GROUP SPECIFICATIONS:** - Group Focus: [GROUP_TYPE] (e.g., Postpartum Anxiety, Grief & Loss, PTSD Recovery, Teen Depression) - Target Demographics: [TARGET_AUDIENCE] (age range, gender specificity if applicable, relationship to condition) - Format: [FORMAT] (In-person, Virtual via Zoom/Teams, Hybrid, Text-based) - Schedule: [SCHEDULE_DETAILS] (frequency, duration, time commitment) - Therapeutic Modality: [THERAPEUTIC_APPROACH] (e.g., CBT Skills-Based, Process-Oriented, DBT-informed, Peer Support, Psychoeducational) - Special Accommodations: [SPECIAL_FOCUS] (e.g., LGBTQ+ affirming, Wheelchair accessible, Spanish-speaking, Religious/spiritual integration) **OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS:** Generate a complete support group description with these sections: 1. **Group Title & Subtitle**: Compelling, destigmatized name with descriptive tagline (max 15 words) 2. **Opening Invitation**: 2-3 sentences using trauma-informed language that validates the struggle and honors the courage to seek support 3. **Clinical Snapshot**: Brief evidence-based explanation of why group therapy works for this specific condition/population (1 paragraph) 4. **Ideal Participant Profile**: - Who will benefit most (specific symptoms/circumstances) - Exclusion criteria if applicable (e.g., active psychosis requiring individual care first) - Required pre-group screening/intake process 5. **Session Structure & Curriculum**: - Typical meeting flow (check-in, skill-building/sharing, closing ritual) - Group size limits (6-8, 10-12, etc.) - Homework or between-session expectations 6. **Facilitator Credentials**: Template for listing licenses (LCSW, PsyD, MD) and relevant specializations 7. **Safety & Ethics Framework**: - Confidentiality rules and limitations (mandatory reporting triggers) - Group agreements (attendance, respectful communication, no advice-giving vs. sharing) - Crisis protocol statement (what to do between sessions) 8. **Logistical Details**: Platform/location specifics, technology requirements, insurance/payment structure, cancellation policy 9. **Accessibility Statement**: Specific accommodations available (closed captioning, sensory-friendly environment, etc.) 10. **Next Steps**: Clear enrollment process with warm, low-barrier CTA **TONE & STYLE GUIDELINES:** - Use person-first language ("people experiencing depression" not "depressed people") - Avoid promising "cures"; focus on "coping," "skills," and "community" - Balance clinical authority with conversational warmth (Flesch Reading Ease: 60-70) - Include one validating statement about the isolation often felt with this condition - Use inclusive pronouns and avoid assuming family structures or economic status **COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST (Ensure these appear):** - Disclaimer: "This group does not provide emergency crisis intervention. If experiencing thoughts of harm, call 988 or 911." - HIPAA/privacy notice for the specific format (encryption for virtual, soundproofing for physical) - Statement on diversity and non-discrimination **FORMATTING:** Use professional markdown with strategic use of emojis (max 3) for warmth. Total length: 400-600 words. Include placeholder brackets [like this] for practice-specific details that need manual insertion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be a licensed mental health professional to use this prompt?

While the prompt is designed for clinicians (LCSW, PsyD, LMFT, MD), peer support organizers can use it by adjusting the [THERAPEUTIC_APPROACH] variable to 'Peer Support' or 'Mutual Aid.' However, all output should be reviewed by a licensed supervisor, and you must ensure you're not practicing outside your scope or misrepresenting credentials.

How do I handle confidentiality descriptions for different states or countries?

The prompt generates general HIPAA-compliant language for US contexts. You must manually customize the 'Safety & Ethics Framework' section to reflect your specific jurisdiction's mandatory reporting laws (e.g., Tarasoff duties, child abuse reporting requirements) and replace HIPAA with GDPR/Privacy Act equivalents if operating outside the US.

Can this generate descriptions for substance use recovery groups like AA or NA alternatives?

Yes, but exercise extreme caution. For substance use disorders, ensure you specify 'harm reduction' vs. 'abstinence-only' approaches in [THERAPEUTIC_APPROACH], and verify that your facilitator credentials meet state requirements for addiction counseling licensure. The prompt will include appropriate crisis resources, but you should add local Narcan availability and specific substance use crisis lines.
