We use the term groupwork to refer to online or face-to-face group-based psychotherapeutic, psychoeducational, and/or peer support self-help interventions.
Group-based interventions can be categorised as interactive or non-interactive. The mechanisms of change are different, and different skills are required to design and deliver these groups.
Interactive groups – where group members talk to each other, sharing different experiences and perspectives, giving and receiving feedback, and providing mutual support for example.
Non-interactive groups – where group members do not talk to each other such as an informative webinar or lecture-style presentation.
