Abstract
This applied project canvasses both academic literature and clinical application of an expressive-arts based group program intervention for bereaved adolescents. The project includes a literature review that outlines the clinical needs of bereaved adolescents and integrates those needs with the characteristics of expressive-arts group interventions. Research methodology and group manual design procedures are addressed. Planning considerations for group facilitators are highlighted. Personal reflections, a literature review synthesis, and a discussion of the clinical and research implications of this project are also included. In the Appendix, the writer has provided a facilitator group program manual for counsellors who would like to implement this group program intervention.
