Psychoeducation

Description of Group When an examination was done at a Christian denominational church in a Sunday school class, there were many particular findings. In this group members meet every Sunday morning for an hour and a half and are presented with a structured lesson. This gathering consists of roughly fifteen participants but attendance occasionally varies. This is largely due to the fact that anyone is welcome to join or leave the discussion at any time. The group contains a mixture of dissimilar characters who bring and share separate viewpoints. There are six members within this group that are considered the core of class. These six individuals attend most regularly and partake in the teachings most often. These major members include: Casey, Christine, Whitney, Garret, Jacob, and myself. Casey, thirty, leads and provides the material within this group, and the remaining that are listed are the vital attendees. Christine is twenty-eight, and the wife of Casey, Whitney and Garret are both twenty-one and newly married, Jacob is twenty-three and the head pastor’s son, and I, myself is nineteen.
