This manual will help psychoeducational group leaders facilitate experiences for athletes from all sports and dancers recovering from a severe sports injury that is keeping them out of their competition for six months or longer. It includes an evidence base for cognitive-existential group process suggested for use, ideas for group recruitment, solutions to overcome referral barriers, group formation, co-leader identification and relationship development, psychoeducational programming, ethical guidance, considerations for multicultural counseling, and evaluation. Advice and recommendations encourage counselors to lean on their hard-earned experience and professional commitment, supplemented by the ideas presented in this manual. The preparation of appropriate sport and dance injury recovery group approaches before and during the psychoeducational group process can only increase the probability of effectiveness and valuable group experience for all members. This manual has three parts. Part one introduces the purpose of this manual, states its intended audience and objectives, and outlines the motivation for developing it. Part two explains the need for a sport and dance injury recovery group (SDIRG) and defines what a psychoeducation group is, how it works, with recommendations for working with an athletic population. It presents evidence for the proposed group, explains the aim of the SDIRG, and discusses issues concerning group formation, recruitment, member screening, group processes and procedures, group leadership, ethical, cultural, and miscellaneous considerations, and evaluation methods. Finally, part three provides a template for running this group.
