I feel like I'm running out of group topics 12 weeks into a support group. This is my first time leading a group (I'm in my final quarter of my MSW program) and struggling with MAJOR imposter syndrome. My participants are all wonderful and rolling with my topics although I fear I'm getting repetitive. The group is for folks with SMI who have had justice involvement. This intersection of identities is my niche interest area so at first I felt I had an abundance of ideas, and now....We've gone through some topics like language surrounding identities (both SMI and justice involvement), labels, routines, coping with change, nature and mental health, boundaries, etc. I just feel the conversation pulling back to boundaries each time and most of my participants self-report doing well with this issue though it keeps coming up.

Any advice on how to creatively talk about boundaries or any interesting topic ideas relating to these identifiers would be greatly appreciated. I'm a month and a half from graduation and my brain is FRIED. Thanks all!
