Publisher/Creator/Content Manager by Priscilla Ridgway et al.  
Best suited for group or individual? Either group or individual 
Proprietary/special facilitator training required? Facilitator training not required 
Other Associated Cost While books are available as PDFs, the size and structure would suggest that purchasing a workbook for each participant would be much preferred (~$20/each on Amazon) Facilitation guide could be printed as needed and placed in a binder without issue  
Description Based on the Strengths Model out of Kansas University

Workbook translates that model into self-help format

Groups began to develop organically following initial workbook publication, so subsequent facilitation guide was developed

Less illness/disease focused and more recovery focused than some other models

Twelve large Chapters with overarching topics
• Each chapter broken into multiple smaller sections

Does not need to be done in order (individually), and in fact is not done in order (group)

Facilitation guide is very detailed regarding session structure and breakdown
• Includes a variety of activities beyond just reading through related section of the workbook (posters, collages, etc.)

Appears very accessible in regards to material itself, but lengthy/could be overwhelming
