Mental Health Awareness Session
Project presented by Nick Dent due to Gerry Golding absence
Following planning meetings which involved members of staff, carers, service users and current inpatients as well as peer support workers it has been identified that both inpatients and carers were often lacking information about mental health illness in general as well as more specific diagnosis. This has led to the setting up of a Mental Health Awareness Group which is due to run every Monday 15:00-16:00hrs at St. Martins Hospital Canterbury.
The five areas to be covered were as follows: Depression and Anxiety; Psychosis; Bipolar and Schizoaffective Disorder; Personality Disorder
These sessions are open to carers; carers have been invited but no attendance so far

David Cousins: service users from Acute wards at St Martin’s participate in sessions with third sector organisations and KMPT staff on each Wednesday at the Main Hall in St Martins Hospital; twelve sessions organised so far; presentations given by members of SpeakUp CIC, TakeOff, EbyE, KMPT Chaplains, Benefit agency etc.; there are posters with support groups in each locality; there are discussions to evaluate this service
Discussion:
Sarah Bieniasz encouraged people to use Live Well Kent website – community network services; two organisations who managed Live Well are Porchlight and Shaw Trust; this is a referral system in Kent, funded by Kent County Council
Maureen Belcher asked if these recovery groups are also mirrored in Maidstone; David Cousins, plan is to roll it out with other localities; there are Recovery clinics at Priority House; Nick Dent, the Trust wants to establish a Psychodynamic Group in community and develop KMPT Recovery College
