About this template

Group therapy succeeds or fails in the first session — on composition. This pre-group questionnaire collects sign-up essentials plus expectations, prior group experience, optional safety flags for facilitator review and commitment logistics, so cohort placement happens with eyes open. Clinical judgment stays with the team; the form just makes it informed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What must a pre-group questionnaire screen for?
Expectations, prior group experience, current safety concerns and commitment logistics — the four that predict whether someone thrives or drops in week two.
Should safety flags be mandatory?
No — make them optional and reviewed privately by facilitators; forced disclosure before trust exists distorts answers.
Is it free to use?
Yes — copy it into your FormLM workspace and adapt sections to your program.
When is it too early to screen?
If someone is in acute crisis, a group is the wrong next step — the form notes facilitators should route urgent needs to individual care first.
How do I handle contraindications?
Questionnaire notes support the decision; final placement stays with the clinical team running the group.
Can workshops use this too?
Yes — strip the clinical items for psychoeducational groups.
