Purpose This study aims to use solution-focused cognitive group intervention (SCGI), which combines cognitive behavioral therapy with solution-focused brief therapy, to improve the benefit finding of petitioners. Method This intervention includes six sessions and two follow-up tests (at three months and six months). Sixty-four petitioners (mean age = 44.31, standard deviation = 4.43) were randomly assigned to the intervention group (32 participants) and the control group (32 participants). The SCGI group aims to enhance benefit finding and reduce anxiety. Solution-focused thinking, strength knowledge, and strength use make up the intervention components. Results The intervention effectively improved participants’ benefit finding and reduced their anxiety, with long-term effects. The control group did not change. Network analysis indicates that strength use has the greatest influence in the network. Discussion For future research, it is imperative to focus on participants’ strengths to comprehend the efficacy mechanisms and enhance the intervention framework
