Hi, I'm Daniel Mercer — and I wrote the curriculum I always wished existed.
LCSW · 8+ years directing outpatient IOP programs
Years of running IOP groups taught me one thing: great facilitators burn out on prep, not on clients. So I built the system I needed — a full 12-week evidence-based curriculum, every handout, every form, and a workbook clients actually use.
Every session runs as-written tonight — or adapts to your population in minutes. Questions? I read every message myself.
