YOU MATTER.

FAMILY MATTERS.

SECCION 1

Population: Divorce or Separated adults

Timing: 45-60 Minutes

Group size: 6-8 individuals

Materials: Pen, & Poem sheet, paper

START: EXPLAINING WHAT MENTAL HEALTH IS AND WHAT THE GOAL OF THE GROUP. 2 sentences of guidelines.

GOALS:
Introduce the concept of healthy relationships

· INTRODUCTION OF MYSELF

· INTRO OF MEMBERS

· INTRO ACTIVITY: READ POEM “THIS WAS ONCE A LOVE POEM” BY JANE HIRSHFIELD

This was once a love poem,

before its haunches thickened, its breath grew short,

before it found itself sitting,

perplexed and a little embarrassed,

on the fender of a parked car,

while many people passed by without turning their heads.

It remembers itself dressing as if for a great engagement.

It remembers choosing these shoes,

this scarf or tie.

Steps:

1.

Hand everyone the poem. Have them read it. After, hand them a piece of paper, and ask them to write one word of the poem or in general that describes how they’re feeling.

2. Explain what the purpose of the poem is. Have everyone show and talk about what they wrote on the piece of paper. Validate their feelings. Re-Explain the purpose of the group.

Questions to consider:

1. What is love?

2. Define healthy, unhealthy, and abusive. Define a healthy/unhealthy relationship

3. What are your expectations in future relationships?
