## What's Included

This Group Therapy Note Template is designed to streamline clinical documentation for mental health professionals conducting group sessions. It includes sections for Date, Time, and Location of the session, along with participant attendance tracking. The template provides structured fields to document the group’s presenting issues, therapeutic interventions used, group dynamics observations, and individual client progress within the group context. Additional components include space for noting the therapist’s clinical impressions, treatment plan updates, and any safety concerns or risk assessments identified during the session.

## How to Use

Begin by entering the basic session information including date, time, and location, followed by listing all group participants present. Use the prompts to describe the therapeutic interventions applied during the session and capture your clinical observations regarding group dynamics, client interactions, and individual participation.
