When you’re asked to cover

Someone called off.
You’re running group.

You have 20–30 minutes to prepare. Choose a session that fits your group, understand the goal, and walk into the room with a coherent plan.

  1. Open a complete session.

    Choose a topic and 30 or 60 minutes. The lesson plan and matching participant materials are already built.

  2. Review the plan.

    Read the Facilitator Guide for the session’s sequence, what to say, and what to ask.

  3. Get materials ready.

    Print or open the matching Participant Handout. Review the Sample Responses to see examples of how participants might respond.

  4. Lead with the guide.

    Start Facilitator Mode. Follow the session while keeping the next part in view.

Content, materials, and guidance

Complete groups.
Facilitator support built in.

The session and participant materials are ready. GroupReady helps you put them into practice, with guidance for introducing the topic, leading activities, and exploring the discussion.

GroupReady’s original curriculum is grounded in evidence-based behavioral-health practice. The complete curriculum has undergone independent clinical review.

From what to say and ask to what to listen for, the guide stays with you from preparation through Facilitator Mode.

Follow a group from preparation to close

Facilitator Mode

When group starts,
know what to do next.

Open Start the Group to set the tone, ask an opening question, and introduce the focus. Then follow the guided sections through to a structured Closing.

Say
Introduce the idea with words you can use.
Do
Guide the activity, one step at a time.
Ask
Open a conversation with a purposeful question.
Process
Help connect the discussion to everyday life.

Open More Guidance for another way to ask, what to listen for, or the reason behind a step.

See Facilitator Mode in use
Facilitator Mode opening: Start the Group, Set the tone, Ask, Today’s focus, optional More Guidance, and Begin Group.
Set the tone with Start the Group, then begin the session.

While you’re leading

Halfway through,
the room goes quiet.

Keep the session in view with Facilitator Mode. When you need to change course, start with what’s happening.

Nobody’s talking. Or someone pushes back.

Group Is Stuck offers ways to approach the moment and reopen the conversation.

Someone says something difficult.

Use Someone Said for guidance on a considered response.

You need another way into the discussion.

Open the Question Bank for a question and additional guidance on using it.

You have a few minutes left.

Choose a focused 5–9 minute Quick Activity, with instructions for leading it.

Group Is Stuck: Nobody is talking, with a first step and words for offering a demonstration.
Practical support when nobody is talking.

Built around the work

For the person
leading the room.

GroupReady is for professionals and supervised trainees who facilitate adult behavioral-health groups.

That may mean a counseling group, a substance-use treatment setting, a skills group, or another setting where structured conversation has a place.

  • Counselors & social workers
  • Behavioral-health technicians
  • SUD professionals
  • Peer specialists
  • Case managers
  • Interns & supervised trainees

Use materials within your training, role, supervision, and organization’s policies. GroupReady supports preparation and facilitation; it does not replace professional judgment.

Prepared content. No live generation.

Sessions and guidance are written in advance, ready to review before group. No live AI generates or changes the curriculum while you lead.

Professionals and supervised trainees who facilitate adult behavioral-health groups, including counselors, social workers, behavioral-health technicians, SUD professionals, peer specialists, case managers, and interns. Use it within your role, training, supervision, and organization’s policies.

Does it replace clinical judgment?

No. GroupReady is educational and professional support material. It does not replace clinical judgment, assessment, supervision, organization policy, or emergency services. See our approach and limitations.

How is the curriculum developed and reviewed?

GroupReady’s original curriculum is grounded in evidence-based behavioral-health practice. The complete current curriculum—including the two Free groups—has undergone independent clinical review. Read about the curriculum and its development.

Do I need an internet connection?

Core sessions and tools work locally on your device. An internet connection may be needed to purchase or restore Pro, refresh subscription status, open external links, or use a network-connected printing or sharing destination.

Are Participant Handouts included?

Yes. Complete groups include matched Participant Handouts and Sample Responses, alongside the Facilitator Guide. The two Free groups include their materials; Pro unlocks materials for all topics.

Can I print or export materials?

Yes. Use the app’s print/export options for available materials or a Complete Packet. Printing and saving use your device’s options. Check page selection and preview before printing. See printing help.

What is included Free?

Acceptance and Boundaries are included as complete groups in both session lengths, with their Facilitator Guides, Participant Handouts, Sample Responses, Complete Packets, and Facilitator Mode. Free also includes selected Question Bank questions, Quick Activities, Group Is Stuck and Someone Said content, plus all safety guidance.

Are new groups added?

Yes. GroupReady Pro is an expanding curriculum. New groups are added every month, and active Pro subscribers receive those additions as part of their subscription.

What does Pro include?

Pro includes all 60 current groups in both lengths, their materials and Facilitator Mode, the full Question Bank, Quick Activities, Group Is Stuck, and Someone Said tools, plus future Pro curriculum additions while subscribed. U.S. pricing is $9.99 per month or $89.99 per year, billed annually. There is no advertised free trial.

Does GroupReady store participant information?

The app has no participant profiles, attendance system, or clinical record storage. Local data includes preferences, favorites, optional recent-plan history, and your group schedule. Do not use support email to send participant names, identifying information, protected health information, clinical records, or confidential treatment information.

Can I use it in substance-use treatment?

GroupReady includes material relevant to adult substance-use groups. A qualified facilitator must decide whether a session fits the setting, the people in the room, and the organization’s policies. It is not a treatment protocol or a claim of compliance with a clinical standard.

Can I use it on iPhone and iPad?

GroupReady is designed for iPhone and iPad. Device and operating-system requirements will be listed on the App Store when the app is available.

How are subscriptions handled?

Apple processes Pro purchases and handles subscription billing. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled through Apple. Use Restore Purchases in the app to check existing access. Get purchase and subscription help.
