I don't know if every group has the same structure or what but mine went like this;
# Check in - how you feel at the start of the session.
# How the week has gone - positives and negative, how you've dealt with them.
# 15 minute break.
# What happening next week - positive and negatives, how you plan to deal with them.
# Summary of the session.
# Check out - how you feel at the end of the session, crisis plans made if necessary.
Mine was service user led so if people were having problems the group members would help and support/advise if necessary. But there were always two CPN's from the CMHT there to supervise and help out aswell. In my group we had up to a max of 10 people but normally only about 5 turned up, both males and females, ranging in age from 19 to about 40 something.
