Exploring group programmes in the treatment of mental health difficulties

The GP Webinar Series covers a wide range of mental health topics for GPs and healthcare professionals.

Taking place on 6 December, Edel Fortune, Programme Manager here at SPMHS, will focus on group or day programmes for people experiencing ongoing mental health difficulties, exploring how these programmes can be of benefit.

Group programmes fall into a number of categories, including:

• diagnosis-specific
• recovery-focused
• relapse prevention.

This hour-long webinar will explore the types of day programmes available at SPMHS and who these programmes are suitable for. GPs will also learn about how their patients can access day programmes at SPMHS, the referral criteria, the referral process, and clinical responsibility.

There will be a short question and answer session following Edel’s presentation. You can also submit your questions in advance by emailing communications@stpatsmail.com.
