Question: Hello!
I am currently in my junior year of college and in my Intro. to social work and small groups class we have been asked to find a problem/issue that has been improved by using a proactive intervention that has been done and proven in the past. Our group has decided to do an intervention about people living a secret life and that are preparing to reveal their secret life to their family and friends. I am having trouble finding a small group intervention in regards to this matter. Maybe I am not using the appropriate wording in my search, but if you could help in any way with information in regards to this matter please help.
Thanks!

Answer:

Dear Maria,

I am not sure what you mean by "living a secret life". If you mean the coming-out process for sexual minority indivduals, you can check out the following research:
