| Annotation | Using a group work model, this article discusses a short term group for older women developed to explore the importance of friendship in later life. In collaboration with group leaders, group members determined weekly topics on the significance of friendship through the life cycle. Social work group practice focusing on the meaning and development of friendship for and with older women is presented as an effective therapeutic intervention for practitioners in settings such as community mental health clinics, senior centres, housing for older people, home care agencies, and nursing homes.
