    2. 21/07/2012 2 Introduction We are not convinced that we should run a group specifically for depression and would like to share our experiences with you

    3. 21/07/2012 3 Hazeldene Day Therapy We are a unit that treats people over 65 years with anxiety and depression related problems. We do not currently offer a Depression Management Group.

    4. 21/07/2012 4 Why we should run a Depression Management Group The N.I.C.E states that CBT and other psychotherapies are an evidenced-based, effective way of treating depression. CBT has been found equally effective when provided on an individual and group basis. I am not the only one

    5. 21/07/2012 5 Potential difficulties with running Depression Management Group Patients have difficulty in applying CBT principles. Reluctance to complete homework tasks. May need to be complimented with individual work. Difficult to treat the individual within a group setting. Not person-centred? Does having depression in the title put people off?

    6. 21/07/2012 6 Proposed Depression Management Group Based on a CBT model. Designed to treat people with mild to moderate depression. Closed group held over 15 weeks. Jointly run by mental health nurse and occupational therapist.

    7. 21/07/2012 7 Aims and Objectives Increase understanding of depression. Facilitate patients understanding of their personal symptoms. Teaches the control of negative automatic thoughts. Changing behaviour overcoming inactivity.

    8. 21/07/2012 8 What the group will include Activity scheduling. Thought records. Behavioural experiments. Formation of relapse plans.

    9. 21/07/2012 9 How we treat depression currently Occupational Therapists use meaningful and purposeful activity as a way of enhancing mood, maximising function, and challenging the inactivity that depression causes.

    10. 21/07/2012 10 Groups treating depression symptoms Support Group/Locality Groups. Creative Therapy Group. Loss Group. Womens Group.

    11. 21/07/2012 11 Discussion Points Should we run a Depression Management Group? What is happening in other areas? What should we call the group? Should there be different groups for acute Vs chronic depression? Why are some areas not offering a depression management group are we avoiding it?
