Love and Life: G-TREM Trauma Recovery and Empowerment Model Group Intervention for Adolescent Girls

Description

The Trauma Recovery and Empowerment Model group treatment intervention for women has been adapted to suit the struggles of teenagers. The leaders’ manual, Love and Life: G-TREM, for working with girls ages 12-18 in groups, was most recently revised in Summer 2005 and is 16 sessions in length with a structured topic for each session. The learning approaches and overall tone accommodates the learning style and the special concerns and interests of adolescent girls. Each session includes a clinical rationale to orient group leaders to the topic, a rationale in every-day language to share with girls to introduce the session topic, goals, icebreakers and experiential exercises, and questions to facilitate discussion.
