Now take a moment to reflect and brainstorm your ideas and plans for your upcoming Mind Wellbeing groups. As you reflect, you may wish to consider the following questions:

  • Who are the participants? Consider if the participants you have in mind would be likely to bond and connect into a cohesive group.

  • How many participants will be in the group? What do you find to be an ideal group size for effective discussions?

  • Where and when will the group meet? Consider location, frequency, and duration of each session.

  • How will participants be reminded of upcoming sessions? Think about communication methods (email, messaging apps, etc.).

  • How do you plan to structure each session?

  • Do you have an opening icebreaker or group activity to build rapport?

  • Any challenges you anticipate, and how would you manage these?

  • How will you gather feedback from participants to improve future sessions?
