Are you a LCSW? If not, it is good to have someone experienced leading the group with you. I have been a therapist since 1989. Been LSW for 7 years. Ran A LOT of groups. The only time the groups were boring or bad was when I did not know what I was doing and shouldn't have been running the group alone in my early years.

We can do more harm than good if we "wing" it. Working with an experienced therapist will teach you the skills you need to conduct productive healing groups. Good Luck!
