Abstract	With an increasing older population and need for institutionalization care, the demand for group work in long-term care (LTC) is increasing. Group therapy can be utilized as a strength-based model, providing socialization and cognitive stimulation with the goal of increasing overall psychological well being for LTC residents. The present article provides a step-by-step outline for setting up and implementing a current events group with older adults in an LTC setting. Additional attention is given to the importance for outcome measures evaluating the impact of the group. A comprehensive list of geriatric-sensitive assessment instruments is presented. (Contains 2 tables.) (As Provided).
